The first MASA meeting of 2012was held at
the Hennepin County Brookdale Library on January 5. A total
of 14 people attended the meeting.
Launch:
The next regular club launch will be on Saturday,
January 28, at
Sunrise Middle School in White Bear Lake. Its currently planned for
10:00 a.m. 2:00 p.m., but the time might change due to the
weather. Be sure to watch the email list and our website for final
times.
Meeting:
The next meeting is planned for Thursday,

2012 MASA Officers:
Since there was only one candidate for each office, MASA tradition
and precedent allowed those candidates to be placed directly into
office by a majority vote of those club members present at the
meeting. (motion was made and seconded to place the three
candidates directly into office)
The 2012 MASA officers are:
President Neal Higgins; Vice President Art Gibbens;
Secretary/Treasurer Gerald Meux, Jr.
Congratulations to everyone, and
thank you for serving!
