Letter
from the President:
Circumstances arising from health reasons have intervened requiring
that I pass on the presidency
at
the end of this year. Nominations will be open for the remainder of my term which would have ended December 2005.
I am very happy that I had the opportunity to serve
as president for the past four years. The club has
made
some remarkable progress during those years.
Activities and membership have
both expanded.
It has been
a pleasure to be a part of this progress.
I
know the club will continue to thrive.
Allen Wilder, President
