After dinner a short business meeting was held to elect officers for 2025. The following officers were approved unanimously on a voice vote of members present at the dinner:

  • President - Sue Holl
  • Vice President - Ted Lascher
  • Treasurer - Stacy Hayano
  • Secretary - Larry Glasmire

A big thanks to Shari Bedker, Event Coordinator, for her work on this event, and to all the individuals and businesses that donated door prizes.

Mark your calendars for the Spring Dinner, May 9, 2025, and the Fall Brunch, November 2, 2025. We have switched the traditional dinner to May and the brunch to November so the dinner will not be after dark. More details and a link to register for the events will follow.
