Gentlemen,
As reported last month, the nominating committee was appointed and charged with the goal of having a full slate of candidates prepared to be published in the July newsletter. Congratulation to the committee of Gary Mann (chairman), Dale Scrace, Reverend Ed Bray, Bob Klacza and Jim Odell who met that goal. I cannot remember when a full slate of candidates was presented to the members at the election meeting!
The slate will be presented to our Secretary, Ken McIntyre, who will present it to the membership for approval at our Election Meeting on July 11th. The election meeting will be brief and occur between the speaker and the raffle drawing. We will still finish by one o’clock.
The officers and directors being presented for fiscal 2024, beginning October 1, 2023, are:
- Immediate Past President Jim Hoekwater
- President Ed Wolking (currently First VP)
- First VP Dan Clark (currently Second VP)
- Second VP Larry Haggart (replaces Dan Clark)
- Treasurer Phil Gibbs (replaces Dave Buckler)

It is time again to send out dues’ invoices for the fiscal year 2024 (October 2023 through September 2024). The Board has determined that it is appropriate to raise the dues from $40 to $50 due October 1, 2023. Watch your August Newsletter for your invoice. The Club has a remarkable tradition of Life Members continuing to pay their dues, even though not required. Thank you in advance to our Life Members! I encourage all members who are able to include a nondeductible gift to the Club with their payment of dues.
Many thanks to all who offer their talents and time to support our Club!
Best Regards,
Jim Hoekwater
President
