Paul Pickley will again serve as Vice-President, Kevin Carlson will stay on as Treasurer. Sharon Powell will be installed as the new Secretary replacing Victor L’Heureux retiring after 13 years in the position. A thank you goes out to Dave ‘Cowboy’ Bralich for again serving as our election official.
