Thank you for your support

I’d like to take this time to say thank you to all those who have read “The Trumpet” these many years. I do hope that you will continue to do so. However, at this time, after more years than I can remember, I will be stepping down as editor of “The Trumpet”. It’s time for someone else to offer fresh ideas to our district’s publication. At this time, I don’t know who will be elected the new editor of “The Trumpet” so I ask that going forward if you have any submissions you’d like included in a future issue that you send them to our District Recording Secretary, Liza Macke. Liza can be reached by mail at: 1351 Fairfield Court / Naperville, IL 60565. Additionally she can be reached by phone at 1.630.416.0658 or by email at [email protected]. Once the district has elected a new editor I’m sure their information will be communicated to everyone. I wish my successor all the best for a successful tenure as editor. Vytiškai,

Rob Martin, HM Robert A. Martin, Jr., HM “The Trumpet” Editor, Retired
