HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE!! I hope you all enjoyed the holiday break. We start a new year with new challenges and new opportunities!
Our General Meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, January 18, in Room Q80 at the Campbell Community Center. Social time is at 9:15 a.m. with the program scheduled for 10:00. Meetings are limited to 50 participants, so please sign up in advance prior to January 17, by emailing Joy Walsh or calling her. We MUST enforce the 50-person limit. If you do not sign up in advance, you may not be able to attend. Officers and Committee Chairs are automatically on the sign-up sheet. Thank you, Joy for doing this.
Masks are required to enter the Community Center buildings, regardless of vaccination status.
The information regarding in-person meetings is contingent upon COVID guidelines staying as currently defined; we may have to switch to ZOOM at the last minute.
Our Chapter has been operating at a deficit for several years, mostly due to printing and mailing costs, and we find it necessary to raise membership dues for 2022. Effective March 1, 2022, dues for members receiving the Dispatch via email will be $15.00 and for those receiving it via snail mail dues will be $20.00. These changes represent a $1.00 increase or a $3.00 increase, respectively, for a yearly membership.
On a brighter note, the social committee has chosen a venue for our annual luncheon on March 15, 2022. We will be meeting at Casa Lupe Restaurant in Campbell on Winchester at Cherry at 11:30. The luncheon will be a buffet in a private room, with seating for 50 people with plenty of space. More details to follow at the January meeting.
Many thanks to Sue Yeager for stepping up to manage the Book Exchange table. There will be no post- meeting lunch in January as no one has volunteered to be lunch coordinator. For events to take place, we must have volunteers.
See you on January 18!
