Fellow Registers,

Thank you so much for awarding me “Outstanding Register of The Year”.  I feel so humbled to be awarded this honor by my peers.

 I enjoyed my term as President but it is not a one person job.
 I was blessed to be surrounded by people that are dedicated to our Association and are willing to do anything they are asked to do.
Thanks for the Award and also for all the love, support and encouragement I received this year.

Have a Blessed holiday season and see you in March at County Government Day.

Claudia M. Peeler

Hi Registers,
Unfortuantely, due to a lack of participation, the group trip to Lookout Mountain has been cancelled.  If you are interested in sightseeing with fellow Registers, please meet in the Lobby of the Hotel at 11:00 am on Wednesday May 15th.  Points of interest are: Incline Railway, Ruby Falls and Rock City.  You must provide your own transportation from the Hotel to each venue.  They are not connected easily and must be driven to separately.  Sorry for the unfortunate news,

Fellow Registers,

In my shock of receiving the Outstanding Register of Deeds award, I failed to extend a proper thank you to Randy and the Registers Association, and for that I am truly sorry.

 I am so blessed to be surrounded by such a special group of friends and to be recognized is quite an unexpected honor.  Being a part of such a great organization has blessed me in so many ways.  I cannot begin to express my appreciation for such an award.

I know others were more deserving than myself, nonetheless, I thank you for this recognition.  The Registers Association is one I've come to depend on for leadership and guidance and I appreciate the opportunity to work with everyone this past year.  Again, thank you so much.

Sincerely,

Natalie Porter
Carroll County Register of Deeds
