t seems almust impossible for this year to be over but I'm on
the last page of my calendar so I knuw we're running uul of
time to finish what we started this year. lt looks like l may
have to carry over a few of my prniects to 2017
lam grateful for the Dppununity we've been given to work with
so many great associations across the state. we are fortunate to
live in a state where, in spite of our unique differences, we've
found ways to work together for a common and higher cause
Protzctlng our underground infrastructure is very important
Protuctlng our communities and families is the reason for
everything we do.
A special thanks to the members of Louisiana one call and to
all those who have made "keeping Louisiana a safer place to live and work" a top priority in their
organizations.
To the excavating community across the state, l commend you for your commitment to calling
before yuu dig. You are helping set the standard to which all other excavators will be compared.
The Louisiana one call magazine continues to receive rave reviews. Thanks for your feedback
and suggestions for stories over the past year lt allows us to find the products and stones that are
relevant to yuu. The magazine has proven to be an effective tool for Louisiana one Call to get its
message out to our users and members and for damage prevention in general. A special thanks to
the advertisers in the magazine The list of advertisers continues to grow as there is no publlcatlon
in the state that reaches a targeted audience like this one. Your involvement in the magazine
allaws yuu to reach the audience you want to reach, and at the same time you help us make the
message aftordable. lt is absolutely a Wln-Win.’
On behalf of the board of directors and staff of Louisiana one Call, let me thank you for a great
year and wish you and your family a safe and happy holiday season
l look forward to a tremendous year of opportunity in 2017.
