Four Skyliners worked the phones at the OPB Radio membership drive in February. If you would like to participate in future fundraisers, please contact me. Although, I am not seeking another term as Vice-President, I will continue to operate as the club’s OPB liaison next year.

April Short Note from the Prez
Well here it is April, and convention in Seattle is right around the corner. I hope you have all signed up and are planning on attending. If not, it’s not too late. Please log on to the Membership Console and send in your money. Deposits go to Susan Kelsey.
Don't forget our club is sponsoring Pre-Convention in Leavenworth, WA. If you have never been before or even if you have, going to Leavenworth is a new adventure each time you go, especially if you are with your TALL FRIENDS. Please go to the Membership Console to register. Payments go to our PO BOX or Michele Corbiel. We are looking forward to a good turn out at both events.
May brings elections to our club as well. If you would like to help your club and run for a board position all seats are available. Some board members have indicated an interest in running again. If you have the time and energy to give back to your club I encourage you to run for an office, especially if you have never been on the board before or it has been awhile since you have served on the board. WE NEED YOU.
We have had a very high volume of students applying for our scholarship and next month we will know who the winner is. I want to Thank Michelle Scasny for coordinating the committee and Ron and LaRue Thomas, Bob Manser, Diana Larsen, Anne Grief, and Margie Wolf for volunteering for the committee. The committee has a tough job ahead especially when so many kids are deserving of our scholarship.
THANK YOU all for everything you do.
Don't forget to VOTE!
I look forward to seeing you at an event soon.

February Short Note from the President
Hello Members,
I am encouraging you all to register for Pre-Convention to be held in Leavenworth, Washington June 25 and 26.
Kate Weigant has done a wonderful job planning and recruiting for this event.
If you have not done so already, PLEASE, Please register for Convention that will be taking place June 27 through July 3, 2011. I understand there are 60
people signed up so far. I am in hopes that this could be one of the largest Conventions that we had in a while.
We are still trying to nail down some information for a Post-Convention. Hang out in the Northwest July 3 through 6. We may be going over to Victoria, B.C., as a large group or doing different small day trips around the Seattle area. If you are interested or if you have some great ideas of places or things we can do, please contact me. I would love to hear them and see if we can work something out.
I am looking forward to seeing you at an event soon.
Teresa

November President's Note
Wow! I am glad fall is here. I have to tell you all, if you did not attend the auction this year at the Ollison’s, you missed out on one of the best auctions we have had. We made about $3,200 which will be used to offset the cost of the Christmas Party on December 4. Additional proceeds will be split equally into the Marfan, Miss Tall Portland, Scholarship, and General funds. As soon as we have our Christmas Party we will have totals for you as to where your money went.
Tickets for Members to attend the Christmas Party will be $15. Guest and prospective member tickets will be $25. Tickets will be available at the Halloween Party, so bring a check and get your tickets early. Or, you can mail your check to the P.O. Box before December 1, and your tickets will be mailed to you. Those waiting to get tickets at the door will pay $35.00 per ticket (member or guest).
I expect to see all of you at the Christmas Party. We are going to have a GREAT time.
Your Prez,
Teresa

October Vice-President's Note
I'd like to welcome our newest members! You are in for a great time and very good friendships.
Friday, November 26 is the Macy's Parade. It is one of our greatest fundraisers and we need VOLUNTEERS. By now you should have received the email with the form on it; just fill it out and return it to me ASAP as space fills up quickly and we don't want to miss out! We can include family members as young as 10 years old. We must have 20 volunteers for me to apply for participation. The parade will not be televised this year, unfortunately.
We did not get enough volunteers for the OPB TV fundraiser, but I thank those of you who did volunteer to help out. There will be more dates for the radio fundraiser very soon. Watch your emails for this!
Be sure to mark your calendar for our Christmas dinner dance on Saturday, December 4. I look forward to seeing everyone at a gathering in the very near future and hope to meet you new members very soon.
