Rick and Liz, just a big THANK YOU!! for all you’ve done for the club this year.

Also a big THANK YOU!! to all the officers and PAC members who have given their time to help make it all possible.

As we go into a new year, I want to extend a special Thank You to the officers and PAC members who are stepping aside. Your contributions have helped make this club what it is. Also want to extend a special thanks for those who have stepped up to fill those voids being left behind. As a club, we are in good hands.

Merry Christmas to all and I’m looking forward to next year. See you all at the banquet.
