Don't miss our Annual General Meeting. We have many things to share, to celebrate and to plan for. Doors open at 1. Come early to visit, browse our library or our "books for sale by donation" table, check out the "2022 highlights" slideshow and/or shop from our Sales & Crafts table including our annual raffle.
If you are a walker or a cyclist or just an interested member, bring your phone or tablet and check in with Elizabeth M before the meeting. She will help you get "What's App" loaded so you can be part of our new 21st century communication system!
We appreciate you taking a moment to RSVP when you can. It helps us do a better job of planning. Also, please bring your own refreshment if you want one.
The agenda follows, as well as a list of things you will have the opportunity to sign up for at the meeting, just in case you'd like to ponder the possibilities. If you are unable to attend but would like to sign up for one of these things, just indicate that in your reply.
