News from the November Board Meeting:

At the November 13, 2008 NCHS Board Meeting the following slate of officers was elected:
President: Dr. Natalie A. Naylor
Vice Presidents: Denward W. Collins, III and Edward J. Smits
Recording Secretary: Irmgard Tuechler

After 26 years of service to the NCHS as a Board member, Mrs. Francis (Mildred) Roessler, has resigned from the board. To many of us over the years, Mildred and her husband Frank, have been the smiling faces and helpful hands behind the refreshment table at program and board meetings. Mildred's service as Refreshments Coordinator was enjoyed by all who attended these meetings.

The 2008 Journal, Volume 63, is nearing final production with an anticipated mailing date in late December.
