 Bulletin Board

       1. Volunteers are needed to assist with National History Day programs at the State Historical Building on April 30 and May 7.  If interested contact Ed Peterson.

       2. The; annual Golden K golf outing will be held on Monday, June 4 at Jester Park Golf Course.  To participate

           or contribute prizes see Bill George or Bob Schulz.

       3. Quarterly membership dues are payable on April 1, 2007.  Be sure to see Roger Hudson to bring your dues account current.  Consider making Roger a happy man and start paying your dues a full year at a time.  This would cut his follow-up and dues collection efforts to one quarter of the current work load.

       4. New member orientation will be held on May 3 following the regular club meeting.  All new members and interested established members are welcome to attend.
