Marie Cousino – PRESIDENT

I’m writing this thinking this is my last letter as your President. WOW did this year go by fast... You just get your feet moving and it’s time to pass it over to the next, but it was a joy and a pleasure, not to mention an honor. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Ionly hope you can continue to work together to grow. We need everyone to step up to take a part and participate. Just showing up with your beautiful smiles, cheerful faces, and contagious laughs, lending hands or friendly support means so much. No mountain is moved in ayear let alone a year!!!!!!!! Enough said. We have added a few members that we swore in @ ILYA in Dec. Please welcome them aboard. Onceagain we still need copies of the charters your club holds. Please bring them in to a meetingor mail them in if you have not been able to attend so we can check the list to get this corrected. We need even the dropped charter numbers and the dates they dropped also.This should be an on going book. Your new slate of officers for the elections are composed and in this newsletter along with the ballot. Thanks to everyone for all their hard work getting this together and running. Also good luck on our 25th year! I also want to thank DBBC and FYC for bi-hosting the Januarymeeting and luncheon. It was a good time with great foodand a good turn out on Sat. Again, Hope to see You all In April for the meeting/luncheon and dinner/dance. Let’s celebrate!!! What a mile stone!!!!! 25 years!!!!!!!!!

Continue to keep warm & safe. See you in the Spring!

Marie

Respectfully Submitted

Betty DuPre’

Recording Secretary

P.S. An apology to those members who felt we were discussing items at the General Meeting that should have taken place at the Board Meeting, it had to be done since we did not have a quorum for the Board. According to ISG by-laws there must be 6 Board Members in attendance and we did not have that.

Kim Gibson 2nd Vice

Well winter is almost gone and I can't wait until the boats go backin the water. I just want to apologize for not being at the Friday night meeting. I always look forward to seeing everyone. I think we should think about combining the board meeting and general meetingall in one day for the January meetings. You neverknow what the weather will be like. We can discuss this againat the April meeting. Speaking of the April meeting, I hope tosee alot of youthere since this a very special year for theISG. Twenty-Five years is something to be proud of. What a celebration this will be. I would just like to remind the E-Board to call all the Past Presidents of the ISGtopersonally invite them and to let them know that this is also to honor them.

Thank You, Kim
