10 November Meeting Rescheduled
President Jim Wilson writes
we have rescheduled our 10 Nov meeting because of conflicts with a church BIG EVENT and our District Fall Conference. We are substituting the Fall Conference for our normal meeting. We are doing the Registration Task at the Conference SO we need YOU to do some small shift work manning the registration table and possibly other chores to make the Conference a HUGE SUCCESS!!!
There will be no charge if you are working at the Conference.
