President’s Corner
Thanks everyone for renewing your memberships… and if you didn't, please do so.
Barbara is working on getting great speakers who will give us insight on what is going on in our County, City
and State. This is the perfect way for you to meet our candidates and elected officials. We have seats on the
County Commission, Mayor Luttrell, General Weirich, Judges and other officials who must be re-elected.
We have a "fun" raiser coming up. It's different from other fund raisers we have had in the past. Be sure to sign up to help
Marti Miller. This is the way to make money to help our candidates.
Each month I will present a President's Award to people who have worked out front and behind the scenes for our club. It
will be my way of saying, "We appreciate you and the work you have done." If you would like to nominate someone for this
award, please call me (737-8633).
Don't forget to send in dues and invite friends to join us. See you February 10th, Germantown Country Club.
Fondly,
Joyce
