 Where do I start? First, I’d like to say “Thank You” to Doug Winters our immediate Past President and his fellow Board Members for all of their hard work in the past two years keeping the club going. You leave me with big shoes to fill. Second, I’d like to “Thank” the club members for their vote of confidence and such a warm welcome as the new President! I’ve had a lot of great comments and encouragement! I look forward to the challenge of the task and I know I’m in good company. My side kick and partners in crime will be Alex Gonzalez as our Vice President, and continuing in their current positions are Brenda Tracy, our Secretary along with David Cooper, our Treasurer. Alex is young, energetic, full of great ideas and never short for a good……..or bad joke. Brenda and David are our “main stay” guys, keeping us “newbie’s” on track. Thanks for joining me guys! In the coming month, I will be announcing our Directors at Large that will help guide us over the coming year......
