Meetings
Meetings are usually the 1st and 3rd Monday of the month, starting with the third Monday in September and going until the end of May. The club traditionally holds social events in December and June. For Fall 2021, all meetings will be online via Zoom; the meeting location for Winter 2022 is to be determined.
If you are interested in hearing a guest speaker or are interested joining the club and trying out a few meetings while we are holding meetings virtually, please complete the Guest Registration Form. We will be in contact and will invite you to a virtual meeting. The guest fee is $10 and will be applied to membership fees if you decide to join.
