MEETINGS AND EVENTS
Our
chapter holds a general meeting each month, September through June, We
have a guest speaker at our regular
meetings. The meetings are open to the public, and provide a good introduction
to our group for prospective members.
We meet the second Tuesday of each month (A CHANGE FROM LAST
YEAR) at 7:00 p.m. at the
Lutheran Church of the Master on the NE corner of Kathleen and Ramsey. Please check our
website for any last-minute changes.
Our June meeting is a picnic, the location announced in the May
Newsletter.
Board
Meetings are held once a month at 4:30 p.m. at Mountain West Bank, 125 Ironwood, prior to the
general meetings.
First Fall Meeting

This year our meetings will be the 2nd
Tuesday of each month, unless otherwise noted.
PLACE:
Lutheran Church of the Master, 4800 North Ramsey
TIME:
7:00 p.m.
PROGRAM: The meeting will be a potluck style
gathering, Bring refreshments and sides, desserts etc. No main courses
are required; things like chips and dips, pasta salads, deserts and beverages
would be ideal! If you skip dinner, there should be enough to fill up,
but if you already ate, save room for snacks and desserts! There may be a
surprise speaker but the point of the meeting is to talk about new ideas for
the upcoming Audubon year: field trips,
activism, learning opportunities, and "extra-curricular activities”. Come
ready to be involved and ready to socialize and catch up with folks you haven't
seen all summer! It will be informal, informational, and hopefully
productive!
