Please note:
We have been asking all committee chairs to email the board a written report of their committee’s activity BEFORE our meeting, and this has allowed us to get through more material than usual. Please continue to send committee reports out to the board before the meeting so they can be read and digested before we gather. Thanks for your cooperation on this. Jerry Budgar
As is traditional for our July and August meetings, Phil Sullivan has graciously agreed to host us at his incredible home for a 6 p.m. supper for the board. Lisa has let everyone know what to bring for the potluck. We will conduct an open business meeting at 7 to which everyone is invited.
