Highlights from the Annual Meeting

The new Board for the upcoming year (Kenny Stevens, Barbara Fry, Sec./Treas., Jack Dodson, Ray Parks, President, Earl Guill, Willie Fitzgerald, not pictured, Charles Denny, Vice-President):

The Annual Meeting for the URW Retirees' Club was held April 2, 2009 at Poogie's Buffet at 11:30 a.m. Poogie's has wonderful food and the attendees enjoyed their choice of a large buffet menu! Richard Shumate presided over the meeting, which was his last as President of the Club. Jack Dodson told club members that Mr. Shumate was "hanging it up" this year, and the nominating committee wanted to present their slate of officers for the upcoming year to include their nomination for President, Mr. Ray Parks. There were no further nominations from the floor and the club voted in the slate of officers - all remaining the same, with exception of the new President. Also, as an added item of interest, Nancy Guill presented important information about the stimulus payment to be expected later in the spring. And this must have been Ray Parks' lucky day - he won the 50/50!
