Happy New Year. Welcome to the first Civilian Newsletter for 2007. The first meeting was held on Friday, January 19 in Vanport. The civilian meetings will start promptly at 7:30 p.m. (one half hour before the general meeting.)
An ambitious and varied schedule was discussed for this year's activities. Something for every civilian be it man or woman. There is sure to be something that every civilian will be interested in attending even if it is just for a few hours.
Rose Shrum is the Civilian Vice President this year. Since we will no longer be supporting a cook house, everyone will be expected to help with the meals for the civilians at the designated events. There will be fashion shows scheduled on a can do and weather permitting basis. No shows will be done during the week because of work constraints of most of the members.
Listed below is a preliminary list of events that the Civilians are planning on attending:

a fashion show on Saturday, March 31 at 10:00 a.m. on the Main Stage -- weather
