We Want You!

Can you believe that we are on the downside of this shagging year? One more dance and the nominating

committee will begin work looking for new officers for the 2009-2010 shagging year. Don’t wait to be asked,

volunteer! As outgoing president, Mike McDaniel will be a part of the nominating committee. Tell him what

position you would like to fill for next year or what committee you can serve on. It has been a great year with

many positive changes. Let’s keep the ball rolling!
