The week after the 4
th
of July Independence Day celebrations, Frosty Acres Members descended on the nation’s capital to celebrate 65 years of the cooperative and to hold our annual Stockholders' Meeting. The fireworks continued as we celebrated our past year's results, elected new Board of Directors members, and even elected a new Chairman of the Board (see the good-looking gentleman to the right in the photo above). Thank you Bob Mackie of IWC Food Service for your willingness to serve in this capacity.
