Super Huber; 2007 Sugarbear Officers Announced!

If you look up "Super Ball" in Wikipedia, you will find the following description...

Super Ball is an extremely elastic ball made of Zectron, which contains the synthetic rubber polymer polybutadiene vulcanized with sulfur at a temperature of 165 degrees Celsius and at a pressure of 80 atmospheres. The Super Ball has an amazingly high coefficient of restitution. Dropped from shoulder level, Super Ball snapped nearly all the way back; thrown down, it could leap over a three-story building.

Well, the Roseville Sugarbears are releasing in 2007 their own amazing and fun Sugarbear President, The Super Huber!

The following is our list of 2007 Sugarbear Officers and Board Members.

• Carmen Morel - Outgoing President
• Jef Huber - President
• Michele Shafto - Vice President
• Amanda Huber - VP Ways and Means
• Mickey Langley - Treasurer
• Cheryl Wall - Secretary
• Karen Salatti - Co-Social
• Megan Hoppes - Co-Social
• Susan Brandt - Boutique
• Michael Taylor - Communications

Please join in congratulating Jef Huber and the rest of the 2007 officers in their ability to bounce into position and make an impact for another fantastic year!

Last year's officers, Pete Hradecky and Lisa Callaghan, both have swimmers that have decided to swim year round. We wish to thank them for their service and certainly wish them the best!

While Mickey Langley has agreed to serve a third term as Treasurer, the parent board would like to bring a new member on board to assume the role, or at least shadow Mickey for this term. Last year's numbers and the 2007 budget are already completed. So, if you are interested and can balance a checkbook, please contact a board member.
