Letter from the President
|
Dear Friends, The New Year is in full swing! We already held our first event, the Annual Meeting, at the Le Chalet Restaurant in Glendale. I would like to give a big Thank You to the Le Chalet owner, Alain Keller, and his crew for all their support and the delicious food. A new Board was elected during the event and there are some changes. John Thornton is our new Vice President and will lend a magic touch to our society; he has already proven those capabilities at the Christmas Party. Glen Floe and Kurt Schittli have joined Susan Oake as Activity Chairs. They all work hard to make each event a success and are always thankful for a helping hand! Carolina Baertsch has joined as a Committee Member and taken ownership of our social media, our website will be in her good and capable hands. Doris Torres is our new Past President. Doris was our President for five years, and our Society greatly prospered under her guidance. Doris has very much succeeded to turn our Society into a cozy little piece of Switzerland, a piece of home away from home. Thank You, Doris! Last but not least, I am thrilled and honored to be your new President. I have gained valuable insight of the inner workings of our Society during my two years as Activity Chair. I am going to roll up my sleeves and work hand in hand with everyone on the Board to further the success of our Swiss club. Our next event will be the Spring Picnic on Sunday April 17th, at the Boyce Thompson Arboretum in Superior. The desert will be in bloom, and we will have Brats and Cervelats from the grill in our shady picnic area. Please save the date and join us for this event! Sincerely,Christian Bucher, President 480-621-6195 |
