WELCOME OUR NEW CHAIR MARGARET KLATT My first message as Chair wow so much to say! I am indeed fortunate to be a member of this great Club and privileged to take on this role surrounded by such a dedicated group of board members. First, I want to thank Richard Piskor for his leadership as Chair over the past 3 years and for allowing me to peek over his shoulder this past year as the Club s exterior went through this extensive construction and transformation. The meetings were so interesting I could hardly wait till the next one and then Wow what a beautiful outcome! Many people have told me that they didn t know how large the building really was it literally sparkles through the trees. Thanks Richard, we wish you good luck on your next adventure. The board and I also wish to thank Faith Collins and Al Ferguson for their years of service as they depart from the board. Faith, I appreciated your counsel and Al, the constitution and by-laws will never be the same without you you made them so much clearer (by the way remember to stay by the phone)! I also wish to extend a warm welcome to John Walsh and Sandy Bligh as they step onto the board they each bring a breadth of talents. Our chats have only just begun. The club has so much going on.(excuse me if I go on a bit!) Breakfasts oh, I am so glad these are back! Thursday and Friday mornings 7:30 11am just $7.95. Even Scots like me appreciate it! BBQ Lunches on Fridays the patio is a great place for lunch from 11:30-2 pm. I have heard that the more of us that show up the better the chance for sunshine!
