Welcome A"board" Friends Of the River San Bernard

Friends Of the River (F.O.R.) San Bernard held their third annual public meeting and Board of Directors election 4 p.m. Saturday, September 6 at Dido’s Restaurant. Five candidates were installed into the organization. F.O.R. proudly presents to the public the newly elected Directors for its Board. They are (in alphabetical order): Bill Barnes, Suzanne Goodson, Wayne Head, Al Roco and Marilyn Shockley. Each candidate came forward and addressed the audience, stating the reasons why they wished to serve on the F.O.R. Board.

These new board members were elected for a three year term of office. The resulting new Board of Directors will, in turn, elect new board officers by the next Board meeting, September 10 , as required by the corporation’s by-laws.

Current Board Members who are stepping down are: Artie Burnett, Ken Corley, Mike Demland, Chaney Moore and Tom Valliere. The river community acknowledges and truly appreciates their service.
