We have a new president. Lynda Sherman once again takes the SFLIS helm for another year. Her right hand dog is Zoey Monthei, who won for Vice-President. Zoey's official attache is Noel Burns, and since Zoey is a very busy dog, most of her VP concerns can be addressed to Noel.

Quad Con, a gaming con, takes place in the Quad Cities this weekend. A SFLIS expedition is going early on Saturday at 6am if anyone is interested. More drivers are also being sought.
