They will be taking office in January 2020.
Paul may be delegating some of the work that the president has been doing, please help out if you are asked.

We also have a new leader for the Landscape SIG: Ken Eis will be taking over in 2020.

Please pay your dues for 2020 to Dave Chamness at the next meeting if you haven't already paid. You can find him at most meetings. Annual dues are $25/member with $15 for a spouse and $10 for each additional child under 18. Dues are prorated based on the month you join.

The Holiday Dinner will be Tuesday 12/10 @ gpm at the Colorado Feed and Grain Landmark in Timnath. Submit 1-10 pictures to Walt Lyons for the Holiday Dinner slideshow.
