I hope that 2006 jumped off to a great start! Things have not slowed down at brass and we are off to another great year. I wanted to share a few updates, relating to brass, and the changing media landscape.

The February issue is in the mail and features Dave Lieberman, the youngest chef to have his own show on the Food Network. Our circulation grew from 150,000 to a whopping 210,000 with this issue, our largest increase ever, and we are now working with over 100 credit unions across the country. Thanks to everyone for the support.

I'm going to be at the following events:

February 19-20- Education CU Council, San Francisco, CA- Speaking
February 27- March 2 - GAC, Washington D.C.- Exhibiting (we're in the circus…I mean tent, so be sure to come visit)
March 15-18- CUNA Marketing Council Conference- Orlando, FL- Attendee
April 18-21- Texas CUL Annual Meeting- Galveston, TX- Speaking

I hope to see you throughout my travels.
