Special Called Business Meeting

There will be a short business meeting during our Capital Campaign dinner to vote on moving the annual business meeting to the first Wednesday in December.

She and our now financial secretary, Beverly Miller, are in the process of reviewing the books, making accounting changes, and getting us ready to track our campaign contributions. They need extra time to be

ready for the annual meeting.
