President's Message

What a wonderful Christmas Party! Thanks to Bill and Kim Gray for opening their lovely home to the club, I sure hope we left it as we found it. A special thank you goes out to Margarida Eidson and the Poinsettia Pavilion staff for doing a wonderful job with the food, decorations, and service. Thank you, Vance Thompson for always doing a great job with the bar. We lacked for nothing.
 
Please direct all questions regarding club accounting and payments directly to Treasurer Dave Anderson. Dave is working closely with our new bookkeeper to continue our accounting excellence. Thanks to Todd Juvonen who acted as our bookkeeper for the past several years. Great job Todd!
 
Please remember that we are dark on 12/22 and will have a joint meeting with the downtown club on Wednesday 12/28 at the Poinsettia Pavilion.
 
It has been a pleasure to serve as your president for this quarter and let’s all look forward to President Joe Strohman leading the club into the first quarter of 2023. I want to especially thank Margarida Eidson, Bruce McGee, Jeff Hata, Dave Anderson, Joe Strohman and all those who helped me through this term.
 
 
Cheers in 2023!
