Everyone will also have an Opportunity to sign up for a committee that will be coordinating each event this year. A complete calendar of events planned this year is listed below and is available for review on our website at localhost.
Additionally, we will approve our by-laws and elected officers for the 2006. Our by-laws are now posted on our website as well. Please review the by-laws before our meeting on March 20th.

Our by-laws require the formation of a nominating committee to accept nominations for the offices of president, vice-president, secretary and treasurer.
