A WORD FROM
OUR PRESIDENT
IRWIN "OLE" OLSON JR.
Greetings, and welcome to our new website! I wanted to take a moment to share some of the latest updates on our COVID-19 repsonse and recent NCBPA events.
Hello Everyone! Thanksgiving came and went so fast. Did you all go easy on the Turkey? Now as the year comes to a close we wanted to take a moment to share what we are thankful for... The answer is you!
We appreciate all of our members who have attended our General Membership meetings and our annual BBQ. A special thanks to our vendors and guest speakers as well. Our events would not be a success without all of you! I look forward to seeing you at our events next year.
Please continue to stay safe out there with the cold and wet weather this winter season. Take extra time to get to your destinations safely, and be aware of your surroundings on the road and in the work place. Take additional precautions to avoid slips and falls during periods of wet weather to make sure you all get home safely at the end of the day!
We are also looking for suggestions for possible locations for our membership meetings and luncheons. Do you have an idea or suggestion? Let us know, and we will look into it and get pricing.
As things are now getting back to normal we wanted to let our members that we will now resume collecting membership dues which we had previously suspended due to the pandemic. If you have any questions regarding the membership dues please free contact us for more information.
Wishing you all a Merry Christmas from all of us at NCBPA and we hope you all have a prosperous, happy, and safe New Year!
Irwin "Ole" Olson
