Existing board members: Helen Dewald (Vice President), Kathy Zagorac (Secretary) and Shirley Mahr (Treasurer) were unanimously re-elected at our December board meetng to serve on the 2012-2014 board. There were no write-in candidates, so the incumbents all ran unopposed and because of this situation, very few election ballots were actually returned. The officers for 2012 will be the same as last year; Roy Wagner as President, Helen Dewald as Vice President, Kathy Zagorac as Secretary and Shirley Mahr as Treasurer. Be sure to let us know if you would like to be added to a future ballot.
