Meeting

Y2K
compliant. With the election of a new Executive Committee and an Advisory
Council
Member for the Years 2000 and 2001 respectively, there is nothing to fear
of the
possible dissolution of AAM. We are blessed with the election of the
following:

to the end of the Year 2000.
Please join me in welcoming and congratulating these newly elected for their
courage, interest, desire and readiness to take the AAM into the new
millennium
to maintain continuity. There is no doubt in my mind, I hope you share
this with
me, that with our collective support, AAM will experience a new level of
accomplishments during the leadership of these honorable ladies and
gentlemen.
By the same token, I am pleased to acknowledge the additional chapter made
to
the AAM's history by the 1999 out-going Executive Committee and the
