PRESIDENT'S LETTER
From the President...
by Richard Blankenship

Being my first President letter to members of the Chapter I will work to keep it short, but informative. First I want to say what a great job Tammie Coffee did as the 2006-07 President. She also had a lot of really good helpers, from the many Board, Committee Members and other Officers. Thanks for all of your hard work!

SPECIAL EVENTS
ANNUAL GOLF TOURNAMENT – MAY, 2007

On Thursday, May 10th, about 40 area accountants and friends descended on Ross Rogers Golf Complex for the 2007 PSTSCPA Golf Scramble Classic.  Aside from a little wind, it was an ideal day to be out on the course.  The competition was fierce and the winner ultimately had to be decided by a tie breaker.  The Amarillo National Bank team of Alan Bolden (Captain), Mark Fields, Rico Soto, and Ross Kerns came out on top with a score of 62.  The team of Jerry McMillon, Andy Carter, Drew Terrell, and Blake Bailey also shot a 62.  Closest to the pin was Drew Terrell of Run Business Solutions and Chris Pace of Johnson and Sheldon was credited with the longest drive.  It was a good time had by all and we would really like to ramp up participation in future scrambles.

Let us know what you think about Golf Tournaments or other Social Events in the for the Chapter.
