I too congratulate John Hume as the new president of the HPOCA.

I hope that the current officers and members of the Board of Directors
afford John the chance to implement his own agenda, for without their support it will be a difficult year ahead. 

I am eagerly anticipating a smooth transition, and that guarded emotions and cool heads prevail. This Club, as a whole deserves some "smooth sailing!!"
