Abbreviated Minutes of December Meeting

     Forty members and guests attended the "Christmas" meeting on December 9th. 
The program was presented by the Lincolnview High School Choir Ensemble under the direction of Stacie Korte.
 Following the program and lunch the business meeting was conducted by Pres. Collins.  A total of 10 new members were announced as well as two guests introduced.
 Treas. Haller reported that we continue to be stable financially.  As the Community Services Committee Chair she also encouraged members to turn in any volunteer hours that had not yet been turned in for the 2010-2011 year.
Vice President Gardner announced that he has been checking into O.P.E. as another avenue for active teachers to use to complement their STRS retirement when that time comes.  His plan is to meet with the teachers in the three schools in our county.
Webmaster Hurless commented on the site and Membership Chair Auld announced that we have 10 new members for 2012.
Discussion was held concerning Sec. Turner's wishes to be relieved of her duties and R. Hurless stated that from her past experience while serving as District 2 Director, she noticed that many chapters have as many as 3, or even 4, positions doing the work that June does for us.  The Treasurer and Membership Chair both volunteered to take on the part of the Secretary's job that pertains to their position and June then agreed to continue on as the Secretary and will be responsible only for those duties.
