Message from President-Elect
  
Well, it is May and spring has definitely sprung here in New England. The grass is green, the trees are budding, and the flowers are blooming. If you suffer from hay fever, my deepest sympathies. The Red Sox are back at Fenway, and you can hear the crack of the bat and the smell of the hot dogs. Fans are even being allowed into Fenway to see the games. Spring is definitely a time of rebirth.
