This week there is light at the end of the tunnel for President Lauren and other members of her team. Lauren turns the gavel over to President-Elect Phil Nash.
President Lauren had to deal with declining membership, closing the club’s office and saying good bye to long-term executive secretary Kelli McCarthy. But before she could address those issues, she had twins to deliver. Those events ended her relationship with hot meals.
 
But in the end, and with a great deal of help from her board, she came through it all and will turn over a leaner, stronger club today to President Elect Phil Nash. Phil was one of the board members who stepped forward to blaze a new trail for us.
 
Then there’s Julie Hayes, our treasurer, who did a fantastic job leading the club through down-sizing and budget cutting. Those changes have apparently worked and we are back on the road to financial strength. Katelyn Pedersen, secretary, assumed additional duties which Kelli had done so effortlessly for years.
 
Thanks to them and to the entire board for their work.
