SICK AND RECOVERING SECTION

Peggy Voigt Botcholism type F hospitalized since Aug. 1, 2009 Elmer Howard, Left rotator cuff operated on; Sept. 18, 2009

Are you sick or hurt? Let the editor know so he can put it in the newsletter.

Everyone make special note that the October class is going to be in

“ Omaha NE.” at the Best Western Kelly Inn. We had many requests

for the class to be back in Omaha and not taken to Lincoln, NE as we thought to save

money. The Best Western when I spoke with them a month ago give us everything we

wanted and we will furnish our own food and Drinks.

Joyce and I had 5 days off so we did some traveling through Nebraska. Had a great

time. When we returned we had a doctor appointment for a problem with my left

shoulder. I had Rotator cuff surgery on the right one last Aug. On Sept. 18, 2009 I had

the left rotor cuff surgery done. It all went well. We thank NLA for the get well card.

It will take app. 1 month of no working and then 2 months of light working to get it

healed.

This is the meeting that we will be electing new officers. The positions that will be

open is for President, Vice President, and Director and Hospitality. It has been my

honor to be able to have served the Presidents position for the last 4 years. We all

thank Joyce for all her efforts to take care of hospitality and building the strength of

the association with the ladies. I will be taking the Director position as the president

when he steps down goes to be the director. If Ryan Andersen is elected as President

then there will be the opening of Secretary that will need to be filled.

I want to thank all of the members that have come to all of the classes for the last 4

years. You, the people coming, has kept NLA alive and strong so we did and can have

the finest classes in United States. The instructors that come have told us that we are

one of only a Very few states to have an association that every class you come to is an

ACE ALOA CLASS.

Rodney Coffman left and Dale Voigt

right. Rodney has a nice trailer and had

lots of good things to buy.

This is one of the things that was in

Rodney’s trailer. This one he had to get

open and by the time it got home again it

was open. Quite a few of the classes we

have had people bring safes and we

opened them at the location.

It was a beautiful evening for the swap meet.

Once the swap meet is over everyone goes inside for the

remainder of the Friday evening time. Every class we

have, as many of them that can make it on Friday night

(husbands & wives) get together and enjoy all sitting

around and visiting. Much is learned listening to the

locksmith talk at this time.

Meet the people in charge of all our businesses. To-

getherness is the main reason for all our success.

The Roadway Inn in Norfolk, NE is very nice and has a

wonderful meeting room. Very large. We all enjoy

coming each year here.

Exit Devices and Exit Alarms David Thielen Instructor

Instructor David Thielen,CML did a great job teaching the

class. When you bring in ALOA classes and instructors

like David there is no problem getting the members to

come. Education is our key word to success.

When you hold a ALOA Class ALOA sends many

large boxes of hands on materials and information that

you take home with you and have for later use. In the

classroom you are working with the items that are be-

ing taught.

Our classes provide not only coffee and Pop for the stu-

dents but have apples, oranges, and bananas through out

the day. This all comes with the price you pay for the class.

This is what NLA is all about. This is a Friday night

picture. The friends that you made come 4 times a

year and this is the free time on Friday night that

makes it all worth while. As much education is spread

in this evening almost as much as the real class the next

day. This is the time that everyone can be with the in-

structor and visit about anything.
