Posted: 12/31/1969 Name: Chuck Windham, Secretary Message: Good day Rangers. Our monthly meeting is this Thursday, Dec 4th at the Overhang. We will nominate and vote for Officers for the Association at this meeting for the coming year. Come and be a part of a great group. Better yet, throw your name in the hat and be a leader. I forgot to add that Chaplain Willard Langdon was at the November meeting and back in rare form, as we had missed him the last two meeting. He delivered a great invocation as usual. See you there!
