President's Message 2019

I hope all is well with everyone here in Canada and around the world. No new news to report about the possibility of a Dragland reunion for 2020, except to say for various reasons Cuba and Mexico won't be considered as countries to host  this event. But discussions are on going with the Dragland Family Association's board of directors, and I am confident that we will find a great country to get together in.
If anyone has any suggestions, please forward them to myself or any of my siblings (Jeanne, Dean, Todd or Vaughn).

I would like to acknowledge and thank our DFA  founder and current DFA treasurer (Vaughn Dragland) for all he has done for the Dragland family association. I think it is fair to say and really does go without saying that without Vaughn's expertise, tireless dedication and devotion the Dragland Family Association wouldn't exist as it does today. So thank you Vaughn and keep up the good work!

It is with mixed emotions that I announce this will be my final year as DFA president. Due to term limits in place, a new president will be elected in 2020. At this time I won't be endorsing anyone for the 2020 presidency, but I will wish the very best success to my successor (whomever he or she may be)

Best wishes to all Draglanders around the world!
Yours Sincerely,

DFA President Bradley Michael Dragland
