Dear ~~first_name~~ ~~last_name~~,

This is your OFFICIAL NOTICE that the Badger Club’s Annual Meeting on Thursday, January 18 will be held via Zoom at 11:30 A.M. This is your opportunity to hear directly from the club’s officers about finances, programs, membership, and priorities.

The agenda will also include the election of two new Directors and four who are running for a second three-year term. The new Director candidates are Vickie Silliman Bergum and Michael Harrington. Since our Bylaws allow us to have up to 20 Directors, we will seat both of them without a competitive election.

Those to be elected to a second term are Othene Haywood, Marla Marvin, Linda Gustafson, Sally Bredeweg, and Carl Baker. Director Bernie Saffell is not seeking a second term. His wisdom and service as Secretary will be missed.

If you have not registered to attend the Annual Meeting, please do so now and plan to show your support of the Columbia Basin Badger Club.

The Annual Meeting is expected to conclude by Noon. It will be followed immediately (same Zoom link) by our Badger Forum Big Time College Football: What about WSU? featuring WSU football player Dean Janikowski and Tri-City Herald sports columnist Jeff Morrow. There is no cost for Badger Club members. Nonmembers will pay $5 to attend the forum.

Yours for Civil Discourse,

Kirk

Kirk F. Williamson, president
