Joint Meeting

No Registration Required

 

Plans are underway for our Joint Meeting, to be held on Saturday, September 13th, from 1 – 3pm at the Glenville Senior Center.  Board members will be present to answer any questions you may have about the chapter.  Also, one of our members, Tisha Dolton, will be displaying and talking about some of her beautiful redwork.  In addition, light refreshments will be served.  We encourage everyone to attend, especially our newer members.  This is a great opportunity to meet fellow chapter members and see what our chapter is all about.  If you know anyone who might be interested in learning more about our chapter, please invite them.  We look forward to seeing as many members as possible, along with any friends you might bring.
