Our first club meeting for 2024 began without our President as he was absent, Dee Axiak took over the reigns. She commented that this was her first meeting as Vice President, for a first timer she did a very admirable job. The agenda was covered in a very efficient and business like manner, she may be back in the near future for an Encore. Nice job! Dee our club Madronna
