<p class=MsoNormal>Dear Chapter Members,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>A PSR leadership transfer and financial audit meeting was
held last night. Bill Davis, Ann Abbott, Terry Shaw, Kara Chadwick, Tera
King, Greg Bassler, and myself reviewed the chapter’s financial books and
found them to be correct and up-to-date. On behalf of the chapter I would
like to thank Greg Bassler for a job well done and for his long service as PSR
treasurer. Also, I would like to thank Tera King for taking on the treasurer
position. Tera King, Kara Chadwick, and Ann Abbott are working on putting
together a 2009 chapter budget. This will be presented for approval to
the chapter members at the February chapter meeting.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Chair-Elect Kara Chadwick will begin to take on
responsibility for day-to-day chapter activities starting this month. However,
since this is a transition month, you will probably still hear from me on occasions.
Kara’s contact email is: <span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";
