President Report by Michelle Knockwood:

The website is up and running. Members need to check their information and update as needed. It will be the only way of communication from the Board to the membership. Chapter Manager has a module called “Member Connect” that allow the members to present a question/query to other members for their input. The initial cost is $350 to set up and then $100 annually thereafter. Michelle questioned the members present to see what they thought of getting it. Art Giulietti thought it was a great idea and the board should go ahead getting it. Michelle stated they board would discuss this further at their meeting at the end of the day.

We are still looking for one new board member to fill an open spot. If you are interested please let me or the Board know.
