  • Next week we will have the annual meeting. Everyone should attend this meeting. There are a number of items we need to discuss, especially how we are doing with the current structure without a formal set of officers.
  • Jim will send out an invitation through Members Comments for all of you to send your suggestions for the agenda. He will include suggestions.
  • Everyone agreed that the use of Zoom for our monthly meetings is working and has been enjoyable. Several people also commented on how much easier it is to attend with Zoom than having to get to the DAZ on a Saturday morning.
