New Board takes office after annual meeting

At yesterday's annual meeting, and new board was installed. As he's the out-going president of the association, I'd like to offer thanks to David for his years of service to our little piece of paradise. If I heard correctly, he's served on the board for more than seven years, and that's more than ought to be required of any one person. David, thank you for stepping up to serve all these years.

And, thanks, of course, to Rob and Frank who leave the board also, albeit with fewer years of suffering. Thank you for your contributions.

To the new board, congratulations.

Now get to work.

;-)
