I'd like to thank everyone who was able to attend December's holiday meeting. Many great beers, tasty foods and good spirits were all exchanged that evening. Another huge thanks to Bryan Jennings for hosting our group that evening.

At that meeting we had our elections for officers for 2011:

Geoff Groff, Member at Large - A relative newcomer to the club, Geoff has been actively involved since the first day he joined our group back in 2008. We look forward to getting his perspective as we continue the club through some of it's biggest growth ever.

Sue O'Connor, Special Activities Coordinator - Sue has always been a "behind the scenes" element for our club activities. This year she'll be helping us plan all of the events outside of our normal meetings including bus trips and the KLOB Roast.

Dan Jeska, Presentation Coordinator - If you want to volunteer for a presentation this year, Dan is your man. He helped us plan out this year's calendar and will aid in assuring each month's meeting is both informative and engaging.

Alex Mantakounis, Vice President/Treasurer - Perhaps only as a clever scheme to sell more wine at Tempo Vino, Alex has been an integral part of the club's expansion and evolution these past few years. We look forward to another year of his hard work and insight.

Chris Elston, President/Member Relations - I am humble and honored to stay on as the leader of the club and look forward to an exciting 2011. If you have questions, concerns or aspirations for what KLOB has to offer, please don't hesitate to get in touch with me.

I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. We look forward to seeing you all in January!
