Sommerfest for new GABC Board of Directors

On July 30, 2011, the GABC Board of Directors and their partners came together for a lighthearted Sommerfest dinner at the home of GABC Executive Director, Marian LeMay. Each July, the GABC Board of Directors votes on the slate of officers to serve for the next 12 months. This is a volunteer position which requires dedication, energy, work and time; GABC has only one paid part-time staff member (the Executive Director) and the 11 member Board is therefore critical to the everyday workings of the organization. After so many board meetings and so much business talk throughout the year, a family gathering in the garden is a refreshing change of pace for these hardworking supporters of GABC. Marius Carstensen, President of the GABC Board of Directors took the opportunity to officially welcome three newly elected Board members: Beatrix Henize, Christoph Wassong, and Douglas Hauer.
