Notes
From President, Tom Holm
We have, I believe, had a very successful
year in 2004 and on behalf of myself and the rest of the Board
members I extend my gratitude for all of your support of the
chapter and its projects. I especially would like to thank all
of the volunteers who gave of their time and effort to make the
many projects of the chapter a success. Also I want to give a
special thanks to the volunteers that in the work kitchen and
behind the bar on Tuesday nights and hope all of you will thank
them as well. The success of the chapter depends on the
involvement of its members and I hope even more will join in to
help wherever, they can, in the upcoming year.
I hope your holidays were safe and happy and
I look forward to serving you in 2005.
Lets give a special thanks to Jim Durbala,
Sonny Satre, Vivian Vogel, Jay & Anita Samuelson and Roger
Lively for donating their time to decorate the chapter house,
giving it a festive atmosphere.
Update on Banner Lake Newsletter Article
I had several
people ask me where Banner Lake was located. The best

Indianola. For detail directions you might want to ask Tom Holm
