The most important office is that of co-chairpersons of the program committee, Leanna Breese. Bob Anschicks, Tom Bond, Alice Eurotas, Barbara Fry, Pat Givens, Joe Oliver, Susan Standish, and Paul Willihnganz serve ably on the committee, finding our excellent speakers. The program committee can always use enthusiastic members.

In addition, there are volunteers who are essential to our operations. They are the webmaster and associate webmaster who maintain our beautiful website -- Joe Oliver and Jim York. Tom Gemetti is our cashier, who assists the treasurer by depositing checks. Nancy Broomhead is the "sunshine person" who sends get-well cards. Rogers Broomhead sets up the auditorium for the evening's speaker. Donna Born sends our publicity releases. Barbara Fry assists Pat Givens at the welcome table at our events. Were it not for Board member Brantly Richardson, who picks up the mail and compiles our membership and reservation lists, the system would fall apart. Perry Ritenour, also on the Board, is membership chair. Perry also heads our new speakers' bureau, which makes members available to tell groups about our Council. Finally, our fearless editor of Perspectives is past president Bill Anderson, assisted by copy editor Susan Standish. As president, my job is to get out of the way and marvel at the hard work our volunteers do.
