At the May 2 chapter meeting, Fred Buckland, Kevin Hennessy, George Rekela, and Scot Johnson were elected to two-year terms to the board of directors to fill the expiring terms of Lee Temanson, Armand Peterson, Doug Ernst, and Stew Thornley.

From this group, Kevin Hennessy was elected president for the coming year, George Rekela vice president, Jerry Janzen treasurer, and Art Mugalian secretary.
