Gail Halderman continues as our treasurer and Doug Fleming continues as our secretary.
Dave Panabaker is our new Assistant Governor and Past President. Dave spoke with Shelley Benesch and described how the club intended to honor our past president Ernie with a Paul Harris fellow presentation on Sept 19th. Shelley will attend on that day, which happens to be the day of the DG's visit and wants the presentation to be upbeat and without sorrow. As few tears as possible would be appreciated. Shelley also passed along a wish that members learn from a mistake Ernie made, and not put off ensuring their wills are up to date. Dave also spoke about the Centennial Project fundraising sub-committee, and their wish to have a gala utilizing people from the music festival, the artist community, our youth programs at the high school and college, as part of a fundraiser next spring in late April 2017.
