ANNUAL MEETING - ELECTION OF OFFICERS
President-Elect Jan Hartzell read the proposed slate of officers for the coming year. They include Sheriff Jack Crabtree for Vice-President/President Nominee and the following members as Directors: Jeff Sargent, Richard Weed, Lee means, Elva Salinas-Garcia, Paul Elias and Brandon Malloy. PE Jan then asked if there were any nominations from the floor. Hearing none, she asked for a motion to accept the slate of officers and it was so moved by John Larsen. Ray Fields seconded the motion, which passed unanimously.
MAIN EVENT
President Chuck then introduced our program, which was musical entertainment presented by Joshua and Bethany Humley, a talented brother-sister team who perform with the McMinnville High School Twilighters under the direction of Music Director Dana Libonatti. Joshua and Bethany played three songs: “Winter Wonderland”, “Oh come, oh come Emmanuel” and finally, “ I Want you Just the Way You Are.” At the conclusion of the presentation, Dana Libonatti signed a book and President Chuck presented him with a donation to the Twilighters.

CLOSING

After President Chuck reminded the members that all expenditures require a vote by the board, we stood for the Four-Way Pledge and the meeting was adjourned. We will not meet again until January 9^th .
