The search is on to fill the board for the upcoming year. Only those who have been members for less than fives years may serve on the board; alumni are not eligible. And that's a good thing, because this is a Newcomers club and once you've become established in the community you may not be as in-tune to the needs of those who are new to the area. Also, the by-laws prohibit board members from serving in the same position for consecutive years, so by necessity new board members are needed to serve each year.

The board meets monthly, for a couple of hours, and sets the course of the club. They make decisions from where the General Membership Meetings (luncheons) will be held, to how much to spend on the annual holiday party. Most of us are retired but have skills of value to the club, such as accounting or publishing. Please consider being of service to your club by participating on the board. Contact the club president (see your directory) to learn what positions are open.
