PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

From the presidents Computer…

Welcome to April showers. There has been a lot of rain recently, but that has not stopped the Tritons.

Classes have finished up for now, with the next classes starting June 1st.

We had elections and we welcome Leticia as our new delegate and Scott as the new Vice president. Ron has stepped down due to pressing personal matters and we thank him for all he has done for the club.

The Triton 60th anniversary party was a big success and we thank all attendees. We had a great time, the food was delicious and the raffle was successful. Thank you for all the donations of raffle prizes.

Coming up for discussion at the next meeting will be some changes to the Standing rules and Bylaws. They are printed elsewhere in the Trib, be sure to look them over before the meeting.

That’s it for now; see you at the next meeting.

Mike Leibovitz, President [email protected]
