March 2024
You may have noticed that it is election season. Hopefully the Newcomers’ election will be much more peaceful than the nation’s elections. We will be voting on-line this year, as well as in person. Traditionally the slate is voted on at the April Luncheon, which is also the General Membership Annual Meeting. We will have some paper ballots for those who want to vote this way but we also will have electronic voting available on the Website from March 19-April 2. The slate is:
Judy Rhodes 1 year term
Gary Allen Smith 2 year term
Lani Butcher Smith 2 year term
Kathy Metz Carson 2 year term
You have received a broadcast about voting from Tom Peet, who headed up the Nomination Committee.
We have upgraded the Website so that we can offer a directory with pictures to all members. Heidi Hansen, our Webmaster, has input all the member information, and Gary Allen Smith will process the pictures as they come in. As you renew your membership in the next two months, be sure to send in a picture, or grab Gary to take your picture when you see him. We will be able to send out the password for the directory soon. Thank you Gary Smith, Heidi Hansen, Sue Cimino, and Steve Schultz for making this happen.
We are going hiking in April! Joan Wildman is leading a hike on April 23 on the Dungeness Trail. Sign up on the Website at Hiking and Walking. She has agreed to lead another hike in July. If you have a favorite hike you would like to share, May and June are open. Contact Judy Rhodes if you would like to lead a hike.
That’s all for this month. See you at the luncheon in April.
Judy
