2nd. Vice-Presidents Message - July 2009

We have finally gotten things together and are happy to welcome you to our first shot at electronic version of our chapter's "At-Ease" Newsletter.

As we reported a year ago this month, we could no longer finance the printed and mailed newsletter.  We had been fortunate in

that the annual Golf Tournament had brought in enough money in sponsorships to pay for our monthly newsletter, but that money began to dry up at the 2007 tournament and in 2008 it bottomed out and we had to eliminate expenses.


The Newsletter - the most significant of those expenses - had to be cut.  So

here we are an electronic version which we hope will keep our members informed.  Those without E-mail and website access will need to ask someone to print them off a copy or go to any public library and read it or print it off there.


The Library staff will gladly walk them through the process.
