New President: Murray thanked all Members for their confidence in electing him as President. It is a large Club, following good values for its Members over the years. He will make every effort to preserve this keeping in mind that a large Club can have its own pockets and sometimes settle into a comfort zone. We need a wide view in all Communities, elevating our image from time to time and although incumbent on the Website Manager, updating the Website would be one avenue to assist with this. We need to work together of course, as more can be accomplished if many are involved, not left to a few. Murray hopes that his input as President will serve the Club well this coming year.
