Greetings Auctioneers!
Summer has arrived-afternoon thunderstorms, temperatures in the 100’s, vacation time, schools out, and HUMIDITY. I hope everyone had a good Memorial Day and 4th of July. What a great way to start the summer by remembering those who have given themselves in the service of our country. We are so fortunate to be Americans and to live in this great country. We all know someone who has served or is currently serving in our Armed Forces- take the time to write a note, make a phone call or a personal visit to let them know how much you appreciate the sacrifices they have made for us. Because of these selfless and brave men and women, we live in a land of limitless opportunity. I hope you all exercised your freedom and voted in the primary elections and the runoff elections. One of our own, Jeff Duncan is running again and we wish him well. Jeff has been a great advocate for the auctioneer community in the State House, good luck Jeff and hopefully congratulations. We appreciate all you do for us.
I’ve heard great things about the NAA Convention in Greensboro, NC. I can’t wait to receive this issue of the Bid Caller. Unfortunately, Mike and I were unable to attend so I’m eagerly looking forward to reading about all the great happenings at the convention. Your Board of Directors is working diligently to prepare for the SCAA Convention in January. Mark your calendars for the weekend of January 28-30 in Columbia, SC. We will be updating you with the location in August. See you there!
By the time you receive this edition of the Bid Caller, our new and improved web site will be up and running. I want to thank Darron Meares and Board of Directors for all your work and input into this project. We believe our new web site will be a great tool for your business. Take a minute to make sure your information is correct on the site, email Darron for corrections, and send the web address to all your friends and colleagues. Be proud of your SCAA and promote the auction industry.
It is time to renew your membership in the SCAA. Renewal forms have been mailed. The cost of renewal has not changed. Please encourage your fellow auctioneers who are not members to join. The benefits of membership are priceless. We are growing-please grow with us.
Always Working for You,
Jennifer
