| Chapter election of officers occurs in the first week of October. Newly elected officers have the opportunity to attend COTS (Chapter Officer Training School), and the Installation of Officers Dinner is held the second week of January. It is the formal highlight of the year, and was held in 2009 at the Branding Iron Restaurant in Show Low.
Again his year, Gordon (Mongo) Bergthold attended the dinner, where Gordon installed the Chapter officials. Gordon is the current Arizona, Souther Nevada, Southern Utah Vice President. "The Eastsiders" and "Joint Venture" quartets entertained us following the installation of officers. Several recognitions are made at this dinner, including the Barbershopper of the Year (BOTY) , Presidents , Spark Plug , and Most Improved Singer Awards. The recipients were:
Barbershopper of the Year - Lloyd Lange
Presidents Award - John Graham

As you can see from the photos below, it was a great and enjoyable evening.
