On this bright spring morning, members were greeted by the cherubic faces of Phil Perington and Jim Svenson, accompanied by Frank Middleton handing out cards which matched table numbers. This to accoomodate more camaraderie by sitting with someone other than the "normal gang" who always sit at the same table. David Guentert read the invocation and lead us in the Pledge of Allegiance.
Tom Mauro, representing the nomination committee for next year's officers noted that, after careful consideration, Phil Perington has withdrawn his name from the list of candidates for the Board of Directors. The only nominee for President (Casey Funk) and for the two Vice President positions (Tom Glazier and Matt Nelson) were approved by acclimation) and Tom handed out ballots on which to vote for four of the seven remaining candidates for Board of Directors. After a count by the nomination committee, the following were announced as new members for Board of Directors: Carl Brown, Al Gapuzan, Greg Holt and Mario Sani. Congratulations to all!
