President’s Corner
I would like to wish Jim Murphy (4 years in office) and Di Corzine (14 years in office) the best. We love you guys and you will be missed as officers. Welcome to the all the new officers and thank you to the officers remaining in their positions. I have very big shoes to fill and I am going to do my best. Please bear with me. We are going to have a big year coming up, as always. We will have next years schedule of events done in January. That way you can mark your calendars.
I would like to personally thank all the volunteers who have helped with our events you are great!
