Standing for executive posts are Penelope Johnson (for President), Darryl MacKenzie (for Vice President), Jack Bennest (for Treasurer), and Shirley Rourke (for Secretary). Nominations are still accepted for each position.
Sally Franks, Jennifer Mapplebeck, Brian Mapplebeck, Craig Rusinek, and Steve Staresina have thrown their hats back in the ring. Joining them on the slate are Esther Brown, Diane Gludovatz, Marilyn Marsel, Bernice Myllyniemi, Leann Parrent, and Roger Ulasovetz.
