UPDATE ON AOC PRESIDENT WAYNE SHAW

Fellow Crows,

You may be surprised to learn that our 2014 AOC President Wayne Shaw suffered an acute medical condition in late July, and is now beginning his recovery process as of this time (early August). His wife and family are actively supporting him as he gets back on his feet, and our compassion and prayers go out the entire Shaw family along with hope that Wayne's recovery progresses quickly and exceeds all predictions. Mrs. Anita Shaw would like to thank everyone who has reached out to her with your many expressions of care and kindness. All of us in the AOC family have been genuinely blessed by Wayne's unstinting and superior commitment to the Association of Old Crows. Throughout Wayne's tenure as our President, he has been more than equal to every responsibility and demanding task. This year is turning into a banner year in terms of the International AOC's outreach programs and financial solvency. These outstanding accomplishments are a tribute to Wayne's consummate leadership. Please continue to offer your thoughts and prayers for the Shaw family as we support Wayne in his recovery.

After careful consultation with the AOC EXCOM and advice from doctors attending Wayne Shaw, Kenneth R. Israel, current AOC Vice President, was asked to temporarily fill the role of the AOC President until further notice. Due to the rigor of upcoming AOC events and commitments, it was necessary that this temporary transition be accomplished expeditiously and in accordance with the AOC Constitution and ByLaws. Wayne Shaw will let us know when he is capable of returning to his elected AOC Presidential position. His resumption of AOC Presidential responsibilities will be consummated on the same day of his return. Accordingly, effective August 7, 2014, Kenneth R. Israel will act as the AOC President. The AOC will endeavor to keep you informed as further details emerge.
