 Happy Holidays |
Greetings GIPHCC Members, Thank you to everyone who attended the November luncheon. We had a great turnout. For those who were unable to join us, Ray Basile, representing the Basile Law Firm, was our guest speaker. Ray spoke on simple, but solid legal recommendations to protect employers and their companies. We are very appreciative of the time he took, as well as the advice given, to ensure our companies and families are more informed. As the 2016 year is quickly coming to a close, I want to give a special thanks to all of those who serve on the GIPHCC Board of Directors: Jamie Carter, Cathy Stegemoller, Dave Heffner, Brian Lebo, Dave Nance, Chris Harris, Dan Canter, Frank Bruggner, Joe Denzio, and Robert Frankel. To Ann Booth, thank you for keeping this organization running smoothly. Your time and dedication are appreciated beyond words. Thank you ALL for your dedication in making this organization a success. The holiday season is upon us. I would like to wish everyone a happy ad safe holiday season. May God bless you and your families greatly, Sincerely, Bill Fite GIPHCC President |
