On Saturday, November 10, 2007, MCBC held their General Meeting and Banquet at the Crystal Lake Country Club in Crystal Lake.  Anne Lunk and Connie Steffen did a magnificent job of selecting the menu and organizing the proceedings.  We had 53 members attend and enjoyed a wonderful dinner.  Prior to the dinner, a short General Meeting was held to elect the new Board for 2008.  The new Board Members are as follows:

   Anne Lunk – President

   Tom Baer – Vice-President

   Helen Noskowicz – Treasurer

   Pat DePaepe - Recording Secretary

   Cathy Cwick - Membership Director

   Geoff Mumford - Touring Director

A big thanks was given to the three retiring members who, over the past two years, have served on the Board: Sam Wexler, Marge May and Mary Lou Mumford.  After dinner, Connie Stephen handed out this year’s “Tongue-in-Cheek” Awards.  A good time was enjoyed by all.2008 Board of Directors
