Please plan to attend this important meeting.

It was suggested that we use this member meeting in January to review what our club stands for and in what direction we will move forward for the success of our group. Please, bring or email to Steph the survey you received in your email. These will be good topics to discuss and take the group to the next level. The issue is simply this: is there something the club need to be doing to meet your needs? The goal is not that you need to attend events but rather that you want to attend events.

Members assigned to childcare are Becky and Dana.
