Dear Members of CEA,

I want to thank you for electing me again as the  President of the Cupertino Education Association. First of all I cannot tell you how difficult it will be to fill the shoes of our current President. He has set a standard that all presidents should aspire to. He has worked tirelessly on our negotiations from 2007-2008 and then the  catastrophic state problems of 2008-2009. If that wasn't enough the parcel tax. I am very fortunate to be working with Neal as he gives me a wealth of knowledge in performing this job! I wish there was more we can do to let him know how grateful we are for all that he has done.

As president I will be in the office all summer to handle any issues or concerns. I promise to visit every site by the first three months of the 2009-2010 school year. I will respond in  a timely manner to any left message. I will do whatever it takes to perform the duties of president. I will certainly entertain any comments or suggestions on how we can improve.  Please feel free to let me know how I can help you or your site. Thanks again for giving me the opportunity to serve you.  I shall never forget that I work for you!

Dave Villafana
