Our 50th Annual Lunch Meeting was held on January 23, 2008.  Thank you to Rick Kellar and the staff from West Allis Memorial Hospital for hosting this event.  Our Gratitude goes to a retiring Past Chairman, Tom Rooney.  We welcome two new board of directors; Dr. James Funke and Citlali Mendieta Ramos - Antigua Latin Restaurant.  I would also like to thank our 2007 Committee Chairs:

Ambassador - Mary Steinbrenner; Gala - Kim Jankowski; Golf Classic & Cruise - Ken Widenski & Kevin Donnelly; Legislative - Bob Thompto; Forks & corks - Marty McLeod Boville.  AND thank you to those who attended the lunch, we appreciate your taking the time out of your busy day.

We plan to move to our new location on March 17th.  The address is 7447 W. Greenfield Avenue.  The office is located on the first floor but the conference rooms are located downstairs.  There is an entrance into the office and there is a side entrance into the building that will get you down stair's to the conference rooms.  We have many committee meetings that I regularly attend. (See the "Mark Your Calendar" section of the newsletter for details) My normal office hours are 8:00am to 4:30pm.  Dianne Kempen's hours are 9:00am to 2:00, off on Thursdays.  Michael is flexible as he is a full time student at UWM.  For your convenience I ask that you to call before coming by.  We have an open door policy but if we are in a meeting downstairs the office location will be locked.

 We co-sponsored the Mayoral Candidate Forum on Thursday, January 31st with the League of Woman's Voters and the Woman's Club of West Allis.  This was live and taped at the West Allis Community Media Center, Channel 14.  They aired it continuously until the Primary Elections on February 19th.  We have scheduled another Mayoral Forum at Tanner Paull on 03/12/2008 at 7:30am, and a County Supervisor Forum on 03/19/2008 at 7:30am, a continental breakfast will be available.  You must RSVP for these events.
