I am happy to announce that we have a full slate of officers who will be voted on at the November meeting. The following ladies volunteered to be an officer: President – Isabel Pietri, 1st VP- Linda Troia, 2nd VP- Vicki Connor, Secretary – Cathy Bruno, and Treasurer – Sue Shupp. A huge thank you goes out to these ladies for stepping up to keep our club running smoothly.

We still have several spots that need to be filled for our wonderful committees and activities. These include Membership, Fair Committee, Scholarship, Beautification, Christmas Party, and many more. If we all help a little it makes our activities and committees run successfully. Please be sure to sign up on the Volunteer Sheets at the November meeting.
