First a word about our previous chapter meeting in March. Steven Martinaitis and Stanley Christmas, our current president and treasurer, announced they will not be accepting nominations and election in May. Steve's new responsibilities are taking more time and effort away from chapter business. Stanley, after many years of service, is retiring as chapter treasurer.
