Our Annual Meeting date of
Tuesday, May 23rd is fast approaching. As per our Bylaws, information on the meeting must be shared with members at least two weeks in advance of the meeting. The draft of the 2017-18 Bylaws were in last week's May newsletter. If you missed them, here they are again -
Bylaws. In addition, the
Annual Meeting Packet has the agenda, year end committee reports, Hazel Hanson Award Nominee, and the proposed 2017-18 budget and Board and Committee Chair nominations. Please take the time to review all of this information before the May 23rd meeting. Since we are providing a light supper between the Business Meeting that starts at 5:30pm and our speaker, Dr. Susan Kern, a RSVP is requested. Please contact
Marge Massarello if you are going to attend. We do need a quorum to get this work done, so please plan to join us at the Oak Park Township Senior Room.
