SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENTS
NO POTLUCK LUNCH AT GENERAL MEETING—
BREAKFAST FINGER FOODS ONLY
We received numerous suggestions during 2019 that we discontinue the monthly meeting meals. Very few members signed up to help host the 2020 meetings therefore the board decided to discontinue the meals so that everyone can enjoy the meeting and program. Beginning January 2020, we can bring already prepared fingerfoods to enjoy during the social and meeting time. Suggestions are—bagels, doughnuts, mini quiches, pigs in a blanket, cookies, etc.
