The Woman's Club began its new fiscal year on July 1 with four new Board directors, elected by the membership at the June 27 annual meeting. 

Pattie Beeler and Monica Trabold, who were serving on the Board, were elected to another two-year term. Susan Gould Fogerite and Janet Nardolillo are new Board members and also will serve two-year terms.

Continuing tp serve on the Board are Paula Hennessy, Sara Hotopp, Marilyn Hunter, Deborah Kaminski, Patti Kopach and Martha McCormick. Two other board members, Adrienne Bonilla and Susan Finn, are completing their terms and did not seek re-election. We thank them for their countless hours of dedicated service on the Board and in leading committees.
