President's Message by Ed Morris RELAC Election for Board of Directors Your Board, at their business meeting held on May 22, 2008 as provided under the bylaws, endorsed the five incumbents who have elected to return to the Board for three year terms beginning in January 2009. These five volunteers are: Mary Lou Bangar Ray Guyovich Ed Morris Ida Leon Ramos Greg Walia VOLUNTEERS Over the last few years this Board has encouraged our members to volunteer for our several committees or as a candidate for the Board of Directors. Those who are interested should let the Board know at the General Membership meetings, Regional meetings or by means of a letter to the RELAC office. Letters will be answered by a member of the Board. Volunteers are hard to come by as was brought to our attention by the latest LACERA election for the General Member and Retired Member positions for the Boards of Retirement and Investment; the incumbents were all unopposed. This appears to mean all the incumbents are doing a good job. ACTIVITIES This is a reminder for members to enjoy the activities coming up for the balance of the year. They include: Dodger’s game with Florida Marlins in July, General Membership meeting & Agua Caliente Casino bus trip in September, Picnic & Day at the Races in Santa Anita in October and our Christmas program in December at St. Sophia's. Enjoy the summer!
