The last five months have flown by so quickly.  I have spoken with, met, and gotten to know so many dedicated and caring ICM Chaplains and Chapter Leaders.

Jerry John, Gene Williams and Don Swift held two very successful ICM Chaplain Training Seminars in Summersville WV and in Harrisonburg VA.  Two more seminars are scheduled:  Skyine Chapter (Staunton VA) Sept. 12-13, and National Capital Area Chapter October 17-18.  The Hampton Roads and Southside (VA) Chapters are planning a joint seminar.

Great news...the following "new" ICM Chaplains are now in place:

Alex Banks     Shenandoah Valley Chapter
Bruce Battle     Heart of America MO Chapter
Don Clapp     National Capital Area Chapter
Gerald Meeks     Shenandoah Valley Chapter
Wade Rodgers     Shenandoah Valley Chapter
Charlie Scott     Shenandoah Valley Chapter
Roger von Seldeneck     Shenandoah Valley Chapter
Mary Lynn Smith     Central Virginia Chapter
Kenneth Stith     Commonwealth Chapter
Edward Waddell     Heart of America MO Chapter
Kristy Waddell      Heart of America MO Chapter
Gene Williams     Skyline Chapter

Looking ahead, we are in the process of a regrouping of the Roanoke, Richmond, and Danville Chapters.  Then we will be off to Arkansas, Kentucky, and Missouri to have seminars and provide support to the local ICM Chapters and Chaplains.

My heartfelt "Thanks" to each of you for your support, ideas, prayers and help and for being "a caring presence" to so many in the workplace.

                                           God's blessings to you.
