May, 2011 No man will make a great leader who wants to do it all himself or get all the credit for doing it. -Andrew Carnegie Over the years, we ve had some great leaders on our board, people who know that it takes a team to get things done. We have another good group ready to move forward, starting with John & Karen Juros, who have agreed to stay on as co-presidents. Kathleen & Charlie McCarthy have agreed to take over as co-vice Presidents and be in charge of programs. Dick Federico has volunteered to serve as Treasurer. Lyn Daudelin will stay on as Secretary and Jean McCann will continue to head Membership. Beth Houlihan has volunteered to edit next year s Newsletter and Anne & Wade Sayer will take on Publicity. We are, however, missing one player. We need someone to be our Social leader, organizing special events such as nights at the theater, museum trips, and otherwise adding spice to our calendar. We ll welcome new board members and thank departing ones at a June 18 picnic. Call or e-mail president Karen Juros to join the team (kjuros@comcast.net). We honestly can t do it without you.
