General Meeting May 18, 2011

Well I have to be honest and tell you that I missed this meeting due to illness. But by the looks of the sign in sheet our attendance is getting stronger every month.

We have a couple of new things going on for our general meetings that just might make them even more interesting. The first thing is Michelle DeLaney is our Sargent at Arms and will be the one to keep order at our meetings if the crowd noise level is so loud our President Freda Flint cannot be heard over the din. Please respectfully listen to Michelle DeLaney if she approaches you and asks you to be quiet. Thank you very much in advance.

Second, is Machelle Conn will be researching and bringing us more programs at our meeting, ie, guest speakers, etc. So, don't miss a meeting, you never know what is going to happen.

Art Tour OAAT 2011

Thank you to all of the participants in our first ever OAAT. I do believe it was a success. We sold approximately 40 maps and had approximately 50 spectators. I know I had a great time doing this, if you miss out on a chance this year, join us next year at our 2^nd annual OAAT.

Special thanks

I want to send out a special thank you to Machelle Conn from all of us for putting the OAAT together and working so hard at making it a successful event. We all appreciate what you do Machelle.

Sincerely,

The Board of Directors.
