Rulebook Updates
Discussion of adding the cover letter from the board as the first page of the rulebook with the second and third page listing the directors and their photos. Adding that the rulebook was updated in 2024 that way we can keep it in the rulebook for the foreseen future. Round of applause for Christa and Judy for picking the rulebook apart and working so hard on getting it updated. Update that the letter should say meetings are held during the “off season” December-April and that members should check our Facebook and website for meeting updates.
Memberships: Remind everyone to get their memberships sent in. Abby made a post last week on the Facebook page and will make another next month.
