Message from the President
Happy Easter / Happy Passover everyone.
April is an important month for our society. It is election month. We will be electing officers and any open director positions to our board.
We now have the ability to vote through absentee voting. You will be receiving an email from Cheryl, our Secretary, who is our Nomination Committee Chair. Please respond to the email for your ballot, if you are not able to attend our April 24th meeting.
Ballots/votes will be tallied, and the new board will be announced during this meeting.
If you have any questions, please contact Cheryl Crilly.
Voting is available to any current member in good standing.
Have a great holiday and see you soon.
