President’s Report – We’re off to a great start. The “Kick Off Party” last month was outstanding. Fifty people attended. Thanks to Brenda Boone Davis for hosting the party at the F&M Bank. We have some volunteers for the various committees and I would like to get them involved right away. Tonight, I would like to get a budget approved and discuss various events and venues. Also, I would like to schedule our committee meetings through to the reunion.
