Happy New Year!

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season. We are looking forward to a great year for the RCMS.

We are still in need of a few lecture topics/suggestions to round out our calendar for 2019. If you have any recommendations, please contact myself or Stacie McGahee.

It’s never too early to begin preparing for the MAG House of Delegates meeting in October. If you are interested in serving as a Delegate, please let us know and we will add you to the list.
