Club Officer Openings

Posted by Mary Sliger 
 
Greetings Fellow Rotarians:
I announced at our meeting this week that we are soliciting nominations for Secretary and Treasurer to serve our club beginning July 1, 2011.
Below is a list of the primary responsibilities for each position.
Please consider in what capacity you would like to support our club in the future and if either of these positions would be of interest to you.
If you would like more specifics of what each position entails specifically in our club, I am certain that Barbara Fagan and Frank Fagan would be happy to discuss their respective positions.
Please let Jack Cory or me know of your interest to stand for nomination to either of these positions by December 1.

Thanks very much,
Mike
