Thank You !!!

Let's pat ourselves on the back...and give ourselves a hand!  And, let me shake your hand and say "thank you".  The numbers are in and we had a great year financially. In fact, better than we had both budgeted for and expected!  Andy, Clarice, Mike, Mike, Jeff and Lynette stayed at the office almost all night Thursday to "officially close" the books on the year that ended April 30th. 

I owe each of you a big THANK YOU for making it happen. Roger, Greg, Stan, Andy and others on your management team want to say thank you as well.  You are the reason and we know it.

Some can remember six years ago when things around here weren't so rosy.  We lost money.  All of you took a pay cut for several months; I went six months with no salary at all. Remember what I told you then?  I explained that we were a private company and didn't have outside sources of equity (a fancy term for cash given a company by the investing public) and that our bankers expected us to be profitable each and every year. So, that's what we try to do here at Learfield.  We all work to make sure we're profitable so that we can invest these profits in our future and in growing our company.  You should take great satisfaction in knowing about your contribution to our year's success and also some satisfaction in knowing you are part of a well-managed, profitable, American enterprise.  My congratulations to you.  And my sincere thank you for a job well-done.
