Our all membership meeting that took place this past Monday evening was a huge success. We had over 50 members attend. Many renewed their membership, paid for our annual FATC Charity Dinner and picked up their FATC logo items. Many got the chance to rekindle old friendships and make new ones as we had many new members attend.

Chairman Kenny Klimes opened the meeting with what will be accomplished on this night, introduced a few of the brand new guys and introduced the 2019 Board of Directors. The Board of Directors for 2019 are:

Chairman Kenny Klimes

Vice Chairman Mike Bisaga

Treasurer Dave Beerbower

Secretary John Walker

Member at Large Jerry Lybarger

Vice Chairman Mike Bisaga discussed the Top Ten list on what to know about our website.  He also briefed how to use our calendar to the members advantage.  Dave Beerbower gave the treasurer’s report and briefed the members on our financial status as a non-profit. Jim Craig, FATC Community Service Chairman, discussed the services we have performed during the past year and what are plans are for the future.
