During the February Shire meeting, I let everyone know that I work every other weekend and, much of the time, my weekend to work falls on the third weekend of the month (which is our typical meeting weekend).
So, our meeting date may need to change.
Please participate in this survey to help us determine when it would be most convenient for people to attend future meetings. (Answer Survey)
We will continue to alternate the meeting location each month (between north and south sites).
EVERYONE is welcome. Dress is modern (no garb please).
