We would like to send communications by email if possible but will honor requests for regular mail from those who have paid dues.

NEW BOARD MEMBERS NEEDED: Newsletter editor, membership recorder, incoming Vice President to be installed in May and to become President in 2011

FOND REMEMBRANCE: We remember Hans Jacoby, who died at the end of October at the age of 96. Husband of longtime president Val Jacoby, those of us who have been members for a while fondly recall his accompanying the singing for our events and entertaining us well as he did it. Several former and current board members got to visit with each other as well as with the Jacoby family at the visitation on November 2.
