DTC Club officers have been elected for the upcoming year. They are: Mark Oliver, President; Eileen Carron, Vice-President; and Morgan Deluke, Secretary. The club will be active during the summer. A planning session is scheduled for next week. Details of that meeting will be sent out next week.
A special thanks is in order to Kerry Sharp who served as President of the DTC Club this year. She took over the responsibility of running the club at the beginning of fall 2006 and single-handedly kept the club alive, writing its constitution and moving the club to legitimacy within the university’s new policies. We will honor her and other DTC graduates on Friday at the luncheon.
