From District 2, there were 10 shareholders present at the Annual Meeting.  The District 2 shareholders re-elected Russ Mauch as a director. Mr. Mauch ran unopposed and was re-elected by unanimous consent of the shareholders. 

 

From District 3, there were 16 shareholders present at the Annual Meeting.  The District 3 shareholders re-elected Dennis Klosterman as a director. Mr. Klosterman ran unopposed and was re-elected by unanimous consent of the shareholders. 

 

From District 9, there were 43 shareholders present at the Annual Meeting.  The District 9  shareholders re-elected Dennis Butenhoff as a director.  Of the 43 shareholders, 36 voted for Mr. Butenhoff, 6 voted for Blane Benedict and one abstained. 

 

Each director re-elected at the 2010 Annual Meeting serves a three year term ending with the 2013 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. No other matters were submitted for shareholder action.
