Help us Celebrate <strong>100</strong><br />
Years of H<strong>is</strong><strong>to</strong>ry<br />
As summer draws <strong>to</strong> an end, I trust you all enjoyed the season and are ready <strong>to</strong><br />
move in<strong>to</strong> fall. We at <strong>MADA</strong> have had a very busy summer and are pleased<br />
<strong>to</strong> end on a high note following <strong>our</strong> very successful summer business convention<br />
at the Greenbrier resort. The presence of <strong>to</strong>p industry executives was exciting<br />
and every attendee came away with new knowledge and insight in<strong>to</strong> the future of <strong>our</strong><br />
industry. I thank everyone who attended and made it a wonderful convention. I also<br />
extend great gratitude <strong>to</strong> all of <strong>our</strong> generous sponsors for their support.<br />
After a very successful General Assembly Session, dealers and the driving public<br />
can expect several new pieces of leg<strong>is</strong>lation and laws <strong>to</strong> go in<strong>to</strong> effect on Oc<strong>to</strong>ber<br />
1, 2010. We have provided a conc<strong>is</strong>e summary in th<strong>is</strong> <strong>is</strong>sue of each law and its corresponding<br />
leg<strong>is</strong>lation<br />
We enc<strong>our</strong>age you <strong>to</strong> remind y<strong>our</strong><br />
cus<strong>to</strong>mers of the hands-free law<br />
taking effect on Oc<strong>to</strong>ber 1st; th<strong>is</strong><br />
<strong>is</strong> a great way <strong>to</strong> generate more<br />
revenue for y<strong>our</strong> sales department.<br />
that will affect y<strong>our</strong> business<br />
and driving laws in<br />
Maryland. Please take<br />
the time <strong>to</strong> familiarize<br />
y<strong>our</strong>self with these<br />
changes. We also enc<strong>our</strong>age<br />
you <strong>to</strong> remind<br />
y<strong>our</strong> cus<strong>to</strong>mers of the<br />
hands-free law taking effect<br />
on Oc<strong>to</strong>ber 1st; th<strong>is</strong><br />
<strong>is</strong> a great way <strong>to</strong> generate more revenue for y<strong>our</strong> sales department as many drivers<br />
will need <strong>to</strong> modify their vehicles <strong>to</strong> comply with th<strong>is</strong> new law.<br />
Finally, we anticipate a wonderful <strong>100</strong>th Anniversary Gala event on November<br />
