ZOOM Meetings Once A Month - First Thursday
The next Zoom meeting opportunity will be Thursday, Nov. 4th. Due to in-person meeting attendance increasing and low member interest in attending our club meetings via Zoom, the board has decided to reduce the number of Zoom meeting broadcasts to one per month. Starting October 7, the first meeting of each month will be available via Zoom, recorded and posted to the club You Tube account. Please contact President Michael Stanzak with any questions or concerns.
