Just a reminder that next Wednesday, March 5th, is the date of our next BOD meeting, held at Pizza Roundup, 2270 Nicolaus Rd., Lincoln. As always, the meeting is open to general membership. In fact, if you have good ideas for improving The Chapter, the best way to get those ideas moving is to attend a BOD meeting and bribe the membership with chocolate cake, homemade cookies, etc….
Meeting time is 18:30 (18:00 for those who wish to have dinner with us).
Last month’s minutes are here.
