From the Prez

This is my first message since being appointed (certainly can’t call it elected) the new Prez for this stellar club.

I would like to thank all those who supported me to this lofty position. I would also like to thank Kevin, Rick, the outgoing board and all those who helped with the activities for all their hard work the past couple of years.

It’s been a long time since I have held any position on the board so I ask everyone to bear with me as I get back into the swing of things. This also applies to the Vice Prez and Treasurer as we are all new to these positions and will need the support and understanding of all the members. Dawn, our Secretary, has been active on the board all along so we will be counting on her to help guide us through the trees. (As long as it’s not Dawn’s run we’ll be OK).

We need some help in filling out the other working positions on the board. There is a listing of all the positions that need filling in this newsletter (website) so if you are interested contact any of us.

I’m hoping as a group we can make some changes that will increase our membership and the fun index for all. If you have any ideas for new activities or changes that you think would enhance the club please do not hesitate to contact any of us.

One change that will be implemented this summer is that we will reduce the formal meetings to one per month (1st Wed.). Barhops on the third Friday of the month will be used as an informal meeting. This will be in effect from June through August. We will return to two meetings per month in September.

The board is looking forward to the challenge and hope we can all enjoy the next two years. Everyone has a voice in what happens with the club so please help with the running of the club and let us hear your thoughts.

The Prez
