We had a good turn out for our General Assembly and elected a new VATAN-SC BOD, including to new members who we welcome with open arms. We thank Brenda Baron Mollman and Michael Akseven for all their hard work and years of service to VATAN and hope to see them back as soon as they are ready!
Our members overwhelmingly voted for the candidates. This was also a year end party, we were busy talking, laughing and eating.

We wish all a Happy and Healthy 2013.
