Meeting Minutes - June 1, 2021

 

Announcements:  We have an important decision to make. Everyone should think personally about in-person meetings. Barb will send out an email to get your thoughts. Also, for our Summer Social gathering, where should we meet and when?

 

July 1st will be the start of the NEW Officers’ role. We still need a secretary. In this role, you will need to attend every meeting for 6-month to take down the Meeting Minutes. There is already a template you can use that would help a lot. THIS IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU TO BUILD YOUR LISTENING AND NOTE-TAKING SKILLS. Lynn C. will be happy to help train you.

 

I also want to welcome our NEWEST RETURNING MEMBER, JULIE back to the team!  :-) 

 

Our co-zoom host Mara, promptly opened the meeting on time with our mission statement, flag salute, and reminded members and guests that the speech and evaluation part of our meeting are recorded.
