Please join us for our annual meeting and potluck dinner on Wednesday, January 24, at Gloria Dei Lutheran Church Bankson Hall (rear of property) on the corner of Stonehill Drive and Ocean Hill Drive just off Selva Road. Doors open at 5:30 p.m., although volunteers to help set up chairs and tables at 5:00 p.m. would be greatly appreciated. Gloria Dei has kindly offered to allow our members to tour its new sanctuary beginning at 5:30 p.m. A reception starts the evening, followed by a potluck dinner at approximately 6:45 p.m. Opening comments and approval of the 2018 slate of incumbent officers and appointed board members will begin around 7:15 p.m. Our final program event will feature longtime DPHS member Keith Johannes, left, who will receive the 10th and final Pat Plepler Award. Several guest speakers will describe his active citizenship and community involvement. In addition, Nancy Jenkins will present a tribute to member and Founders Day recipient Colene Schwandt, who died last year.
Attendance is open to the public but please be sure to bring a dish to serve six to eight people for the potluck dinner. Beverages will be available but a donation of wine or beer is always appreciated.
Members who wish to nominate individuals or apply for vacant positions should contact Parliamentarian Joel Bishop or President Barbara Johannes at least two days prior to the annual membership meeting.
