Secretary and Treasurer terms are over and need solid candidates to fill those rolls. President and Vice President positions terms are also up for election and although Laura and Ernie plan on seeking a second term that doesn’t mean you can’t run against them. Advertising Director is not seeking an additional term and a shuffle among existing board members could result in positions opening up. If you are even vaguely interested in becoming part of the RRR board feel free to contact one of the election committee members. We can use additional help and would love for you to step up and participate in the development and continued success of RRR and its programs. Talk to Ernest Joseph or any Board member if you are interested or just curious about what you could offer. Ernest is the election committee coordinator, you can contact him or any of the board members for additional information. Text Box: Next Club Meeting in 5 days!
