the same as the previous
year, with Thomasson

The board then turned
their attention to upcoming
events, beginning with
the 2016 Political Forum.
Although there are few
contested races locally,
Thomasson mentioned
that the Political Forum
will be held, and that there
were some candidates for
state positions which have
expressed an interest in
attending. The Forum will

It will begin at 6 p.m., and
refreshments will be served

again be steak dinners,
