New Business
On March 21st Vice President John Chopek, Secretary Linda Weisenstein and Treasurer Allan McCurdy will formally announce that we will not run for reelection in 2011. We realize it’s early but this will allow everyone interested time to familiarize themselves and hit the ground running. We will also make another plea for a “Sunshine” volunteer. At the club’s expense, this person would send cards, flowers or fruit baskets to sick or distressed members on behalf of the club.
On behalf of Jerry, Lin and Allan, it has been an honor to serve as club officers and we sincerely thank you for your support!
