Harvest Investment Group Holds 2^nd Annual Stockholders’ Dinner…

The Harvest Investment Group (HIG) held its 2^nd Annual Stockholders’ Dinner on April 28, 2003. Unlike last year’s event which was a more semi-formal affair, this year’s dinner was dressy-casual and was held at the Buckhead Grill in Stockbridge, Georgia. All current members were in attendance with the exception of three, and a total of eight visitors were present.

After the welcome by Mr. A. Alford, the president, and the grace being said, the group enjoyed the casual atmosphere and a time of fellowship, laughter, and a dinner of a variety of menu items. During the discourse of the meal, the various members introduced their guests. The group then moved to a more private room and handled the business portion of the meeting. Mr. E. Deas, a.k.a. Pastor Deas gave some words of inspiration and encouragement. He applauded the work of the group the past year and encouraged them to "leave an inheritance for their children’s children." He also asked the group to try to convince the young adults at the church to become a part of the group, so that they can learn early on the power of investment, rather than just spending everything that come across their paths.

Our president, A. Alford also echoed what Mr. E. Deas said. A. Alford then gave a presentation of the current state of our investment group, and stated that even though the stock market has been taking a beating as of late, we should all hang in there for the long haul, and he believed that things would turn around for us. A. Alford passed out hand outs which included the HIG’s Declaration of Financial Empowerment, Magic of Compound Interest, a graph of the HIG’s E*TRADE Account, and the value of the group’s 10 current stocks.

The group elected officers as its final order of business, and all of the current officers were re-elected: A. Alford, President, E. Deas, Vice President, J. Deas, Secretary, C. Howard, Treasurer.

The group heard various comments from the guests, and some were interested in becoming a part of the HIG. The Annual Stockholders’ Meeting was officially adjourned.
