Don't Forget - We need a Nominating Committee in September!

You can make it easy on this committee by volunteering for an office for 2009!

We have the best quild in the area, and its a great opportunity to utilize your ideas, talents and organizational expertise by planning club meetings.

If everyone helps, then everyone benefits!
