Secretary: Trustee s: Norman Heppner Pat Swagger John Lively Robert Coffman Jim Sigman The annual Wheelhouse Pre-Opening cleanup went well. Many of the regulars came to clean and I am thrilled to say that we had some new faces working diligently to get everything ready. Thanks to all who attended. Those of you who could not make it missed out on a very productive and enjoyable day. It was a great way to start off the season. On another note, at the last Club meeting we had a very good showing with several new faces with good discussions and ideas from all. Made my day!!! Let s keep that up.
