Time to vote for new officers and committee members and find out how the club is doing. If you are a Premium Member you can cast your vote. If you are a Basic Member you may still attend and get a feeling for how things operate behind the scenes.

Don’t worry! You can still have a drink and sit where you want during the meeting and it only lasts about half an hour to 45 minutes. So get there at 9pm and be a participant!
