Dear SGPA Members,

Just a moment to wish each of you a Merry Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous New Year.

Thank each of you for your prayers as I have recovered rapidly from my recent surgery.

As we wind down another year, I think about how blessed I am to be a part of such a great organization
as the SGPA. We have had some wonderful moments in 2009. One - to finally get on Main Stage during the NQC awards with one of our members recognized as "Promoter of The Year". Congratulations again to Twila Rohrer of Garden Spot Promotions. She represented our Association well during her acceptance speech.

It is so gratifying to see how far we have come, as well as a challenge to see how much further we can go as we become an ever-increasing force in our own industry.

Again, wishing God's abundant blessings to each of you and yours.

United We Stand

Jim and Katye Hefner
