April General Membership Meeting - Cancelled

Thursday, April 17, 2025

 

We regret that due to unforeseen circumstances, we were unable to secure a venue for our April meeting.  So, therefore, there will be no April meeting.  However, we have an exciting May meeting planned.  We are finalizing details with that venue now. We also have some fun and interesting possibilities for the next few months that we are working on.  Stay tuned!
