Thursday's Meeting Will Be Virtual
President Melanie said in an email that we are going to continue with Zoom meetings until after she gathers survey results from our club.  Please refer to her email that contained a link for a survey to gauge who wants, 1) only virtual/Zoom meetings, 2) who would be open to in-person meetings, and 3) if in-person means are preferred outside only or inside an establishment where we can all safely social distance. Potentially The Continental in the large banquet room (thank you Pete for your offer!)  Please fill out the survey!
