President's Corner By Rosco Tolman

First, I would like to thank Joe and Myrna Antonich for a most interesting presentation on their sailing trip from Argentina to Antarctica and South Africa, followed by a safari in Africa and a few days in London. If you weren't there you missed a treat.

Treasurer: Edna Madsen
Please see ballot included in this newsletter.

Newsletter

In the winter newsletter I said that, due to budget concerns, the board had decided to send a hard copy only to those who requested it and an e-mail attachment to everyone else. The truth is that there are many of our members for whom we do not have e-mail addresses and very few requested hard copies. As a result we have partially reversed our earlier decision and will continue to mail hard copies to dues-paying members and e-mail attachments to all those for whom we have an address. Of course, it continues to be available on our Web site as well.

New President

It has been a pleasure to serve as president this year. Please join me in welcoming and supporting our new president for 2009-2010, Carlos Martín.
