Hello fellow Four Lakes Bears Members. In April we will be holding elections for new officers. In last month's newsletter, I put out a general request for members to step up to volunteer to fill the soon to be vacant board positions. No one stepped forward and one board member has decided to step down as well. We now need a President, Vice President, and two Members at Large. We still have a Treasurer and a Secretary. We will be contacting members this month to see if anyone is willing to run for the board of this group.

If no one steps up to help out then we will have no choice but to dissolve the group. Donovan and I had to take over this group four years ago when we had some new board members resigned the day they took office. We felt then that this group was worth saving. Over the years other people stepped in and took over the officer positions needed to keep the group going. However, Donovan and I no longer have the time, effort or money to prop up the group again. We feel that this is a good group today, but we can't keep it going alone. We need your help.

It would be a shame for this group to fold as it has continued to grow and to add new members. The Four Lakes Bears is celebrating it's fifth year this April. Lets not make it our last year. When a current board member contacts you, please say that you will help out and become a board member. There are some new and exciting events planned for this year in celebration of our fifth anniversary. - Michael Seele, President, Four Lakes Bears
