The fact is, the TCBA is in great shape at the moment. We are meeting members’ needs. We are showing non-members our value. But we can’t rest. With the economic downturn, we may face a decrease in membership. Knowing that, we plan to earn your membership by maintaining the services we provide and finding out how we can serve you better. So, give me a call. Let me know what we can do for you. A few other quick things: If you use Facebook, you should be following the TCBA. If you are following the TCBA, you have probably noticed the “garage sale” of old furniture. We are entering our remodel phase. Once we are done, the interior of the facility will have an updated look and feel. Speaking of an updated look and feel, we are also in the process of updating the TCBA website. I know, you’ve read that before in one of my earlier columns. So where’s the update, you ask. Well, it’s in process. We have a creative team, and a board, and, well, a bunch of lawyers trying to do creative stuff. So it takes time. But kudos for reading this far into the column. Sincerely, Jim Milton TCBA President, 2019-2020
