And because it was Superbowl Sunday, we had the entire place to ourselves. A nice spacious room accommodated all our needs and the food they prepared was quite scrumptious. Thanks to Carolyn Weeks for setting up the slide show of all our events from 2017. It was a lot of pictures and I hope everyone enjoyed them. Long time supporter of BSTRA, Chris- tine Taylor, was there telling us all about VoxxLife socks and insoles. Special guests, Mike Travers and his wife Joan accepted our invitation and gra- ciously presented the Joe Travers Memo- rial Award which honors his father. Following our family style, sit down lunch, we started our afternoon by dispensing with the regular order of business and proceeded with the Election of our 2018 Board of Directors & Officers. I was very pleased to see that we even had a nomina- tion from the floor. 2018 Officers: President– Becky Kalagher Vice President/Clerk-Carolyn Weeks Treasurer-Karen Parlin Rec.
