The Ellison Bay Service Club meeting on Oct. 15 at the Viking Grill Annex in Ellison Bay marked the changing of officers for 2010-11. Outgoing President Phil Hansotia was presented with a leather-bound journal in which to keep his notes by incoming President Carol Lango, who thanked Hansotia for his service and key role in the formation of the Service Club, a consolidation of the former Mens and Womens Clubs. The new officers include Lango, Treasurer Gary Kemp, Secretary Kim Maedke-Shumway and Membership Chair Jan Forkert. Three new directors also were elected: Lee Telfer, George Slight and Forkert. Regular Service Club Board meetings are held monthly at 7 p.m. on the third Thursday of the month at the Viking Grill Annex.
