Each year, there is pressure to hold the members’ meeting as early as possible before some of our retired members head south.  That always makes it difficult to effectively evaluate the past season which has barely finished. It also makes it challenging to announce plans for the next season so the projects and ideas are usually vague. To solve this, the members’ meeting is being moved to the spring – likely in April. That way, we’ll be able to be very specific about the plans for the summer and report much more accurately on the previous year. The change in timing shouldn’t have any impact on anyone because individuals who have ideas, issues, concerns or questions bring can bring them up directly with us at any time. The office is staffed 358 days per year and we can also be reached by Phone, Email, Skype, Facebook, and Twitter. …oh yes, and by old-fashioned postal mail too.
