Can you believe it is March 1st already? February went by so quickly and March is roaring in like a lion! We can only hope that it does indeed go out like a lamb!
We have a LOT of news this month so make sure you read this email and click all the links!
A WORD FROM OUR PRESIDENT:
Spring will be here soon, I promise. This has been a typical Northern NY winter and I for one will be happy to see the green grass and tulips soon.
Our Silent Auction in February was very successful. Not only that, but those who attended had a great time. Make sure to check out photos from the event! Thank you to Jodi Kemple and Kimberley Williams for the outstanding job they did on this event.
I would be remiss if I ignored the cancellation of the OSC/ESC Merger vote. As I stated in the letter to the OSC members, the process must be done correctly according to our constitution and by-laws. I want to thank you for your understanding and support in the decision that was made.
With Spring comes the time to think about our next board. If you would like more information on the positions, please get in touch with our Parliamentarian Jennifer Goubeaux. Being a part of the board is a rewarding experience, a chance to learn how an organization if run and a time you will never forget.
We are in the home stretch for the 2010-2011 OSC year. Our upcoming and final luncheons are going to be a LOT of fun! March is a Mardi Gras celebration, April will be a Southern Tea Party and of course our annual Scholarship luncheon in May. I am hoping you will be able to attend and enjoy the camaraderie that the OSC offers to us. Because as the saying goes, you can never have too many friends.
