OFFICES FOR 2008

The club members decided to skip electing officers. We will ask for members to volunteer to run one month's meeting and outing. In addition, the member will be asked to write a short article for the newsletter. In November of each year, we will go through the calendar for the next year and find volunteers for each month. This approach relieves certain individuals in officer roles from having the brunt of the responsibilities for the club.

The following information will be maintained in case we decide to go back to an officer based format.
