years. A special thanks to P/C Jim Whyard for his persistence to get me to run that first time. I started with Publications for 5 years, Activities for one year, then Supplies and this last year Secretary. I would like to say what a pleasure it has been working with this Flag and Board this year. I think we should ALL give a SPECIAL thanks to Commodore Don & Barbara Vanover for making it such a FUN year. If anyone has any thoughts of running for office, I highly recommend it. You will get so much more out of it than you can possibly imagine. You only get out of this club what you put into it. I saw a sign at the Leader Dog for the Blind In Rochester that reads,"Volunteers are unpaid, not because they are worthless but because they are priceless." So, as my last act, on behalf of my fellow officers, I would like to make a motion to double the pay checks of ALL of the officers. For me, most of you have heard my story, the opportunity to serve on this Board came at the perfect time in my life. My husband had just passed away and at the same time I lost my job. Being on this Board gave me my "purpose in life" back. You have no idea what you have done for me. And for that , I can't thank you enough.

Supplies – Hugh Vestal
