November Meeting
Our September and October meetings did not yield enough attending members to deliver a quorum for voting, or to allow for any executive board decisions. The next meeting will be held at Rosemary Calvert’s home on Tuesday, November 9 at 6:30. Because it is being held in a private home, please let her know if you will be attending. Last minute arrivals are still welcome. Food, drinks, and seating require some planning ahead, so call 302-239-4259 or email rosemarycalvert@yahoo.com to RSVP and to get directions. We hope to get a 2-year plan in place for providing continuing education to our members.
If you are unable to make this meeting, but would like to provide your thoughts or suggestions, please contact Kathy Caudle or Molly McGinty.
