Well, it is almost another year in closing. We are having nomination of Officers at May meeting and election at our June meeting. The election will run from 12 noon until 6:00 PM. We seem to have a discrepancy in when a new member can participate in post activities. You are not a legal member until the membership approves your application. Once they approve it you will be an official member. Until then you can only come in as guest of a member. In closing I hope you have a safe and enjoyable summer.
