Business Meeting
---The first Business Meeting of the new season is on Tuesday, October 20, 6 p.m. There are only three of these meeting in the year and they offer members a chance to examine the financial statements, quiz executive committee members on expenditures and other matters, and hear reports on Club events.
---These meetings are important. Attendance at them confirms members’ interest and involvement in the club as an entity beyond each individual’s specific participation. While a quorum of 20 is all that’s needed for business to be conducted, a larger attendance is desirable so that every member has a voice in the all the Club’s affairs.
---A light supper will be served, Members may also come just for the meeting at about 7 p.m.
