Note from Don Tucker
Effective June 1 I will be retiring as coordinator for the NSAI Central Arkansas chapter. I will remain a member and offer my support to the chapter and attend meetings when I can. I have 3 grandkids in the 10-11 age range, and want to attend their soccer games, etc, which are usually on Saturdays. I’ve missed a bunch, and they are growing fast!
