THE PRES. SAYS FOR '99 - This is to be my last front page before turning the gavel over to another very competent leader. Thanks to all the members for their support and help during my rein. It has been a very interesting and fast learning experience. I invite all members, past, present, and future to rally behind the new leader, to bring New Life and vigor into the organization. Much of what I tried to accomplish as you President never came to pass. but we won't stop trying. Once again I encourage All Members to bring guests, neighbors, friends and relatives of past members to our meetings. We can only continue to exist through increased membership. Thanks again -- Jerry. P.S. Since Whitey Hooven will be away for the month of February, I will take calls on possible hall rentals. My number is 574-9818. Also Charles Kerber is looking for mail from any member friend. His address is CWO Charles J. Kerber, USA-RET, 181 Applegrove St. N.E., Apt. 311, North Canton, Ohio 44720-9104.

HALL RENTAL Chrpsn W. Hooven

Keep talking the hall up. It was mentioned at the February Board Meeting that we have two possible rentals coming up. HOORAY. It looks like the dry spell could be over. We hope the slogan "the best price in town" is getting around. Since Whitey will be out of town for the month of Feb., the Present has offered to accept all hall rental calls. His number is 574-9818.

MONTHLY RAFFLE AT C.P.A. TICKETS FOR 1999 ARE NOW AVAILABLE. The cost of each ticket is $10.00. You might say "just what do I get for my ten bucks?". It is thus explained: the raffle runs from March through December. After each regular meeting, 4 tickets are drawn from the hopper. After the Treasurer makes out the checks, the winning tickets are put back into the hopper for next month's drawing. What you are really getting is a bargain. You are putting up ten bucks for ten drawings or a buck a month on 4 prizes. Who knows, you could hit the big one. Call Mike Meyer at 574-1687 for more info and tickets.
