Schwäbischer Unterstützungs-Verein

Even though it was cold and windy, some members took their responsibility of attending meetings seriously and came to the Annual Membership Meeting, with Elections, on Sunday, January 28th, 2007 at the Carpathia Hall.

President Rosch opened the meeting and thanked all assembled members for their attendance. Several members were excused from the meeting due to vacations out of state, or bad weather up north. After the financial and committee reports were taken care of, the Election committee, consisting of Joe Wieland and Rolf Zerrer, opened the received nomination letters and had an easy time to carry out their function. As the nominations forms suggested all incumbents were reelected per acclamation. So here are the results are:

President: Hubert Rosch

Entertainment Chairperson: AnnaMaria Mapes
