Dear [[first_name]] [[last_name]] Esq.,
|
Happy New Year!
One month has already gone by in 2019, but this is our first greeting to many of you. We sincerely wish all of you good health, boundless happiness, and much success in 2019!
Did you make any resolutions or establish goals for this year? Our Officers, Council Members, and general members are already working on theirs: to bring you second-to-none programs in various jurisdictions throughout the world, on numerous timely topics; to establish stronger ties with like associations; and fresh new ideas and activities!
This writer has resolved to keep up healthy habits and use that gym membership more often, so today I toast you with oxygenated water. Cheers!
