President's Message

SEPTEMBER 2005

Summer is nearly over and a new club year is upon us.  But First, a year in review!

2005 has been a momentous year for us as a club.

  • In March we had our 2nd show at DelTech again breaking attendance and sales records;
  • We became a tax exempt nonprofit organization;
  • The amendments and bylaws were updated then voted on and approved by the club membership;
  • Our webpage is up and running.  As of late August the page has been visited approximately 125,385 times from people all over the U.S. and abroad.

 So, what is in store for us during the rest of 05 and into 2006.

  • Eric Meier will continue to have informative and interesting programs each month.  Be sure to check out the September program on how to sell on e-Bay.
  • Bob Asreen has field trips for adults as well as juniors planned into next year.  Keep watch on the webpage and the Geogram for the latest updates.
  • The Board is very hopeful that the Lab will be up and running again by the end of the year thanks to Margie Marshall and her willingness to conduct classes in her new studio.  More information will be for coming as details are finalized.
  • And, The 43rd annual DMS show, March 4-5!  Save that weekend for the club and help with the show!  Updates on next year’s theme will be finalized soon.  Watch the Geogram and webpage for further details and pictures of the raffle prizes!

The Officers for the new year are the same.  There have been a few changes to the Board.  Guy Sbriglia’s two year term as a Board Member At Large is completed. Alex Kane volunteered to fill Guy’s position.  Marty X after many years of serving as the recording secretary step down and Eric Hottenstein volunteered to step into that position.  Two new board members were added to the existing team, Bob Ehrlich, long time membership chairman was added as an official board member as was Ken Casey, our new WebMaster.  For a complete listing please see the Geogram or our web page.

 

That’s all for this month!

Hope to see you all at the September meeting.

[Karissa Hendershot]
