President's WELCOME
As announced in the April and May Newsletters and discussed at the last meeting, the Board will hold a vote in the Fall to determine whether or not there is enough interest and manpower resources (i.e. willing volunteers to serve on the Board, serve on Committees, and help to design and organize activities for the Club). Before that we will survey the members (in good standing) through e-mail and mail to determine interest in continuing the Club. A copy of the survey will be presented at the June meeting. The survey will be confidential and shared only with the Board. A summary will be provided to the membership at the September meeting.
We hope there is enough interest in continuing the Club.
