issues and looks to the future when the newsletter/communication
will be easier and incorporate more graphics.

Director at Large: none
Selection of Officers 2010: Changes are: Helen Bridge Interim
President, Esther Goldberg, Past President, Open position for Health
Liaison which could be a Director at Large. There was discussion of a
Director at Large for recruitment/outreach. The Board felt there was a
need for this with so many new retirees this year. Since there are
Director at Large positions in the Constitution, no changes are needed.

Esther for taking on the role of President in a year with so many
retirees.
Respectfully submitted,
Lettie Camp, Secretary
