Holiday Meetings

The next two meeting dates fall on holidays so we will postpone our next meeting to the fourth Thursday in January - January 28th. Until then, have a great Thanksgiving and wonderful Christmas/New Year's/Holiday break!

We are looking for ideas for speakers for the next meeting; if anyone has an idea of a subject or a topic they are looking to address or hoping to hear about, please let me know.

We are also thinking of reducing the meetings to quarterly instead of once a month. If you have any thoughts or ideas regarding this schedule, please let me know.

Please remember to renew your dues!

Take care,
