Weekly Bulletin

Hi Everyone,

I hope all is going well for you. I've uploaded my treasurer reports to the Club website documents section. Our finances are in good shape.

Lynn Verrill attended PETS and will be taking the helm on July 1st. Scott, Annette and I are covering the President's duties this 4th quarter. Scott is leading the Adventure Golf event on May 20th, and we've had several sponsors and teams sign up. A small group of us will start planning for the Seafood Festival soon.

We've had a fairly consistent group of about 15-20 members who have been attending meetings regularly with attendance averaging just shy of 15 each week.

We'll be meeting at Pat's Pizza this Wednesday, May 3rd, at 5 p.m. and would love to see everyone there. Let's fill the place! If you haven't been to a meeting for a while, now would be a great time. If you aren't able to make the meetings but would like to be more involved in any of our events, please just reach out to me, Scott or Annette (or any other member).

Have a good week,

Ron Wrobel
