Candidates are needed for officers for next year. Beth is resigning as President. Need officer/board candidates by Nov. meeting. Election will be at Dec. meeting. Anybody interested in being an officer or board member contact Beth. If you are interested in any position let her know, not sure what office will be vacant.
Place and time for Dec. meeting – Talked about going back to Ryan’s and hold meeting Sunday afternoon again so roads will be better and not driving at night.

Beth suggested keeping the two separate. Kathy is going to go with her. Meeting is Nov. 9 at 6:00. Others are welcome to come along.
