As you will see elsewhere in this Chairman's Chatter, the annual meeting at ROMPEX will be L9-2L May 1995. For reasons that I still can't fathom, I got the dates wrong in the last Chatter. On 24 February 1995, my wife Gretchen and I left the Northern Virginia suburbs of Washington, D.C. (Burke, Virginia) and moved to a new home on a lake in Greensboro, North Carolina. The February 1995 Chronicle reflects my new pxiling address of 1L Teal Court, Greensboro, NC 27455 on the masthead. For those who wish to call me, my new telephone number is (910) 545-0175. The move went quite well and we are very pleased with our new home. The schedule of events for the annual meeting appears separately in this Chairman's Chatter along with information on the location of the show at the Holiday Inn - John Q. Hammons Trade Center. Members who are unable to attend the annual meeting on Friday afternoon, will have an opportunity to meet with and talk to society officers in the society suite during the evenings after show hours. Information on the suite location will be available at the society table during the show. I also expect to have copies of the unbound version of the new Cole book available at the society table. The bound version will take a little longer before it is ready, but you will be able to get a good look at the contents of the book and purchase unbound versions at the show. I have had no reqponse to my last request for a society member, who is a CPA" to help us prepare our annual IRS tax returns as an exempt business organization. Our taxes for the fiscal year ending 30 June 1994 have been prepared and file4 but we must find someone to help when this current fiscal year ends this summer. Our need for help is urgent! If you feel quatfied to assist, please contact me and offer to do so. Our society is active and healthy because members volunteer their time. We don't often go to the membership and ask for help, but we must now. Please offer to help with this task. I look forward to our meeting in Denver and to the opportunity to meet our members in the Western states. I hope that you will be able to attend. As always, please don't hesitate to cotrmunicate your thoughts and ideas to me or to any of your officers and directors. We are always interested in your views and want to serve all the members of the societv in the best way that we can. Thanks. Dick Winter ANNUAL MEETING In accordance with Article IV, Section 4 of our By-I-aws, the members are hereby notified that the annual meeting of members will be held at 3:30 PM, Friday 19 May 1995, at the Holiday Inn - John Q.
