Your FSO Officers

This will be the last article I write for FSO as your President. I would just like to say I have enjoyed being your President for the past 2 years. I have had a lot of fun, done a lot of cooking, enjoyed be-ing with old friends and meeting new friends. I know I wouldn't have met as many of you as I did, if I hadn't held this position. I wish all the new officers coming into FSO, the very best of luck for their upcoming term.

Thank You

Janet Black
