Hello Show Folks!
Happy New Year to all!
I have heard that a lot of fun was had by many of you last weekend! First off there was a big turn out in Colma at the Memorial on Friday January 10. The coffee and donuts were delicious and our Chaplain, Ron Quint did a beautiful job officiating the service.
The Banquet and Ball went off without incident. There was Prime Rib and Potatoes for dinner. There were baskets and a few other donations raffled off, raising a considerable amount of money. I heard the DJ was great and made the whole night a lot of fun! The big winner of the night was Past President, Harry Mason who won first and third prize totaling more than $5,000.00. (He bought all of his project tickets so he got seller as well as the prize) Then the second winner was First Vice-President, Sharie Davis who also bought all of her project tickets making her the seller and winner of more than $2,000!
The Installation of 2025 officers was officiated by Past President, Lance Moyer, on Sunday morning where a delicious brunch was had by all. Lance swore in the following:
President: Jill Moyer
First Vice-President: Sharie Davis
Second Vice-President: Miranda Nugent
Third Vice- President: Karla Kinsel
Treasurer- Marta Quinn
Recording Secretary-Linda Davisson
(Lance can swear me in again at the PCSA Banquet as Corresponding Secretary)

Dinner at 6 pm (RSVP to Linda or myself will be appreciated for caterer count)
