If I were to sum up the last six months in one word, it would have to be responsibility. Change often brings challenge that, optimistically, can offer opportunity and that's where being responsible comes in.

Guided by good business practices, it's my duty to see that MonCre customers are provided with good, affordable services. The new service plans recently introduced are a product of that mission and from the positive response we've received, it looks like we are on the right track.

As General Manager, I am pleased to work with the staff of trained professionals who deliver our services to our customers. They always go the extra mile in reaching our goals, and because of their reliability, MonCre Telephone gets better every day.

I am very optimistic about the new opportunities that await us in 2006. Watch our progress as we develop new ideas — always with an eye toward being the best, and being competitive with others in the field of telephony. The New Year may have its challenges, but with your help, we're ready.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year,

General Manager
