President’s Message
Greetings! We will be meeting at Duck’s Grille and Bar on Sunday, May 16 at 3 p.m. This is our annual meeting and installation of officers. Please remember that guests, family and friends are welcome at this meeting.
The new membership year begins July 1 and Katharyn Thayer, our treasurer, will be at the meeting to collect dues for 2010-2011. Dues are $49 for the Association, $11 for the state and $11 for our branch.
Evelyn Lynge has volunteered to serve as Membership VP for the coming year. I am still looking for someone to assist me with branch programming and meeting planning.
Looking forward to seeing you on Sunday!
