CHANGES WE’VE MADE

We are passing the torch to include some new leaders!  It was an evolution, not a revolution, to ensure that our good works continue.  Joanie Lewis has stepped up from Vice President to President and will do a wonderful job.  She has the dedication, skills and connections to be our terrific leader.  Connie Rogers will remain on the Board as editor of the Society Page.  Our new treasurer will be Diana Johnson who has been a Museum volunteer for a year.  She brings skills and business acumen.  We also have a bookkeeper, MA Bowe, who is not a board member.  She and Diana will continue to make sure our practices are businesslike.
