Josie here for Connie. Today we elected our officers for the next six months. See the roster below for the details. We had coffee and breakfast treats to celebrate this momentous occasion. Of note our President Stephanie Charles gave many thanks to the officers completing their stints. And thanks to returning officers (Tryphine as VP of Treasury and Josie as VP of Education) and SPECIAL Thanks to those NEW officers who will be infusing the club's leadership with their special brand of Toastmastery.
