May 2016 — The President’s Message
Karen Barootian and Nancy Vidlak were re-elected to the Skilaufers Board at the April
meeting. I appreciate your trust in me in being re-elected Club President. I also appreciate
the nice turnout we had for the meeting which gave us the quorum we needed to conduct
the officers’ election.
Those who missed the dance missed a wonderful time. Nine Thirty Standard played for us
for the first time and I would vote to have them back again.
May will be our last indoor meeting until September. Rick & Rise’ will perform. In June,
July and August we will meet at the East Side Club’s Tiki Bar on the lakeshore.
- Enjoy, Curt
