2 From the President Hello All, This will be the last President s letter for This year is quickly coming to an end and the holiday season has kicked into high gear! We had our Holiday Luncheon on Dec. 5th at Villa Christina and we all enjoyed a lovely buffet followed by delicious desserts. This year we partnered with Stand Up for Kids in Atlanta, GA. Kelly Fields, the Executive Director of Stand Up For Kids, spoke to us and shared with us how the contributions can help at risk kids and/or homeless kids in Atlanta, GA. I am sure it is hard for us to imagine so many homeless and at risk children. What a wonderful organization to have available for these children. Thank you all for your donations to help this charity. Recently, we have been hearing a lot about paying it forward. This is an awesome concept. I personally witnessed a couple of very generous acts of paying it forward at our luncheon. Several of our door prize winners, who won bank cards to Target or Walmart, donated their prize to Stand Up For Kids on the day of our luncheon. Such generosity warms the heart. Ms. Fields was quite touched. Our next luncheon meeting will be January 7th. This is a Tuesday instead of our usual first Thursday of the month (rescheduled due to the holidays). Our guest speaker will be Douglas Burrell of Drew Eckle Farnham who will be speaking about distracted driving. We also have some exciting events coming in February please watch for upcoming details on our Annual Workers Comp Seminar, I-Day, and Insurance Day at the Capital. We have launched a new internet page. Please check it out. Soon all members will be sent a temporary password and user name to set up and monitor their own Atlanta Claims Association portfolio. This will be within the next 90 days. The ACA website is a work in progress and shaping up very nicely! Please have a wonderful Holiday. Will see you all in January.
