Just a reminder that the fall General Membership Meeting will be this Sunday, October 30, 2022 to be held at the Como Lake Casino at 1 p.m. following the Cider Rides. The major order of business will be club elections. Every two years the club elects four officers and five other board members. The slate of candidates from the nominating committee, chaired by Mike Viggato, is below. Other nominations from the floor are permitted. Three other positions are appointed by the board: Webmaster, Membership, and a newly created position New Member Advocate. The Membership position remains vacant and we are looking for volunteers.

The nominated slate of candidates is Bradshaw Hovey, President; Brenda Fischer, Vice President; Mike Viggato, Treasurer; Michelle Bates, Secretary; and Jen Adolf, Jason Decker, Mike de Freitas, Liz Skelton, and Jim Turner Board Members. Appointed positions are Ron Penton, Webmaster; Alisa Mertens, New Member Advocate; and Membership (this could be you!)
