AGM/Elections & Kangaroo Court

The Annual General Meeting was held Saturday, November 15th at the YWCA (thanks again to Mike & Pam Schubach for their help). The following members of the club were elected at the AGM

  • President: Greg Jetton
  • Vice President: Russ Snyder
  • Treasurer: Ben Swim
  • Match Secreatary: Fu Yet

It was recommended by those present that Kirk Olson and Bob Richmond co-chair the Social Committee (see what happens when you don't show up?). Most of those present then retired to Jimmy's for the Kangaroo Court (Gregarious!) where most of those present answered to the full extent of the law for their various (Hideous!) crimes. Curiously absent from the proceedings was Lord Bushpig who will no doubt be laden with excuses if he shows up for the banquet (Prepostorous!).

Save our field!

As you may or may not have heard, Governor Rod Blagojevich recently announced the closure of 11 state parks.
