Welcome A"board" Friends Of the River San Bernard


 Friends Of the River (F.O.R.) San Bernard held their third annual public meeting and Board of Directors election 4 p.m. Saturday, September 6 at Dido’s Restaurant. Five candidates were installed into the organization. F.O.R. proudly presents to the public the newly elected Directors for its Board. They are (in alphabetical order): Bill Barnes, Suzanne Goodson, Wayne Head, Al Roco and Marilyn Shockley. Each candidate came forward and addressed the audience, stating the reasons why they wished to serve on the F.O.R. Board.
