B.R.A.T.S.

Wow, what an excellent national convention. The B.R.A.T.S. were quite busy with activities such as numerous pool parties, a team challenge, going to the beach, electing a new national board, and selling raffle tickets for our blanket. Congratulations to Mark Strong for winning the blanket and thank you to all of the people who bought raffle tickets, it was a great fundraiser!

As we look forward to next year in Albuquerque, the board along with the trusted guidance of past national auxiliary president Charlene Wendt and Current auxiliary President Fred Gardener will be busy planning activities for all of the B.R.A.T.S. If you have any suggestions for activities please send them to leaguebrats@gmail.com, they will be greatly appreciated!

As I had mentioned above, we the B.R.A.T.S. elected a new board. The 2010-2011 national board includes President BJ Bailey (WV), Vice Presidents Josie Zerrusen (IL), Brett Allen (NM), Paige Acord (WV), and Brianna Ortiz (CA) and Secretary/Treasurer Ryan Ballweg (WI).

In closing, I would like to thank all of the postmasters, auxiliary, retirees, and of course the B.R.A.T.S. for making it a fun convention for all who attended.
