The slate of Executive Board Members for 2025-2026 was announced to the membership. Still needed, 1st Vice-President. The membership votes will be cast at the May meeting. Installation of officers will be held at the June Luncheon, location TBD.
At the end of the Members’ Meeting, Publicity chairperson John Elliott rose to present a special Certificate of appreciation to Lee Asta for her two decades of dedicated service to OAG, culminating in her four years as President. Lee was unable to be present, so the congratulatory award will be presented to her personally at a later time by a group of members.
Thank you, John Elliott!
