President's Message
by Patricia Szczuka
Some people get excited about politics and others cringe. For some, personal involvement in campaigns, debating issues at the dinner table and letter writing is a part of daily life. Others have a cynical view of politics; despise when someone asks them who they voted for; and see politics as a way to shuffle money around for self serving purposes.
I see and agree with both points of view. When I was attending school in Washington DC, I wrote one of my research papers on this subject. I wondered ‘Why is it that some love the intrinsic political process and others despise it?’ My findings were very interesting.

Strategic Planning that Matters:
for the Small Manufacturer
Two months ago my wife and I were camping in Santa Barbara. We woke up on Saturday morning with no specific agenda other than to do some wine tasting. We drove around Los Olivos and Santa Yenz.
