 Next Month will be Nominations and Elections. Please plan on attending. We need volunteers for all positions. Unfortunately for us, Ray Pearson who has been our Treasurer for many years, will be moving to Colorado in June. Ray has done a wonderful job and will be missed both as a friend and as treasurer. We will need a replacement.
