PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE – SUMMER 2008 Thank you to Mark Campbell and our fellow WCA Board of Directors on another outstanding clinic. The clinic was a great success including 441 attendees, as well as many terrific speakers, concluded by an outstanding session hosted by former Denver Bronco Karl Mecklenberg. An additional benefit has been added to your WCA membership. Through the work of Steve Mischke and the executive board, a $5,000 accidental death policy has been added to your membership benefits, without a rise in clinic or membership fees. Congratulations to all of our Coach of the Year, 20 year, 30 year and 40 year award winners, as well as to the class of 2008 Hall of Fame inductees. Also, congratulations to our sports officials of the year and all-star weekend participants. Best of luck to all of you this year and thank you for your time and effort for the young people of our state. Wade Sanford 2008 SUMMER CLINIC
