I would like to thank all of the Men’s Auxiliary Members who attended last month’s meeting. Coming up in the next few months we will be having nominations for the officers for 2015-16.

Things will be ramping up for elections this spring, please let one of your officers know if you or someone that you know would be interested in holding a chair for the upcoming 2015-2016 year.
