EMAIL TO: [email protected] Hello Everyone, It’s time for Membership Dues, at the August General Meeting, invoices were handed out to those present, and the others have been mailed. Please make sure and get your payments in to us before September 16th or you can pay at the September General Meeting. To mail your payments, send to the COF Po Box listed at the top of the invoice. Also, we included a copy of your Membership Directory Information in with the invoices, please check and make sure everything is correct. If not, please make the corrections and return with your payment. We have a new Web Master; Kerry Dehmel will be taking over the duties from Frank Stafford. Frank has agreed to help Kerry with the transition into his new duties. On behalf of the entire club, I want to thank Frank for his years of service to COF and our website; we appreciate all of your efforts. It’s also time for Board Member Nominations, we have 3 positions that need to be filled: -Secretary -Activities Director / VP -Membership Board Members that have decided to run for another term: -President / Chris Campbell -Treasurer / Kaye Campbell -Communications / Jim Agar The Board Members cannot make nominations, so the Membership needs to locate individuals that are willing to fill the positions and be prepared to nominate them at the September General Meeting. Nominations can be made to me, in person, or they can be made in public at the September General Meeting. Any Regular Member can run for any seat on the board, except Web Master (this is an appointed position). Nick and Angie, put on a great COF Picnic, with the help of many of our members. Great food and weather made for a fun time. It was good to see so many people attend. Nick made the announcement, at the General Meeting that he would not be putting on the Ice Breaker Run in 2015. He has been in charge of this for over 20 years and he would like someone to step up to the plate and take over this run. It’s a great social event and it would be sad to have it go away, so if anyone is interested in keeping this tradition alive, contact Nick DiLiddo for information. We have been having a lot of fun with the Dinner runs, thanks to everyone who puts thier time into these runs, looking forward to the next one. It’s been a tough month for our Membership, we have a number of people who are suffering through an illness or have had an injury. Please keep these people in your thoughts and prayers. If you have any questions about these people, their condition or contact information, you can contact our Sunshine Representative – Sharon Minnick, she’s in the directory. Well, that’s enough for now; see you at the next event and Save the Wave! Thank You!
