21 Jan 17 - At our monthly luncheon, The Red Hat Chapter said goodbye to our Quartermaster, Gaylin "Jess" Jesmer.  This is sad, because Jess was the only Quartermaster the RHC has ever had - other than perhaps Del in the earliest years.  Jess is moving out of state and building a home in the great Northwest with his wife.  Thank-you for your many years of professional service and friendship with all the Chapter's members.  Good luck on all your future endeavors!
1 Jan 17 - The Red Hat Chapter Supply Room is closed for business effective 1 Jan 17.  It may reopen if and when the Chapter finds another Quartermaster that is willing to run the store.  If you are interested, please contact Mark @ RedHatSix@gmail.com
