The door will open at 1:30 PM. John Gonzalez will be at the door to greet you, and will come into the meeting as soon as the doors are locked by staff. Our meeting will start at 2:00 PM, and will run until approximately 4:00 PM. Regular business, and our elections will be held at this time. Also, remember to bring your money for the give it up or do it challenge. Mary will be taking your money at the door. I’m also going to remind you, that we are doing the refundable recyclables. This is an easy thing to do. All we ask, is that you bring your beer, cans, pop, cans,, pop, bottles,, beer bottles ,in a plastic trash bag and we will take care of the recycling process. This will be an ongoing fundraiser for our chapter, and right now the funds are going towards our Bell Academy. Remember that anyone who paid their dues by December 31 is eligible to vote in the election and or except a nomination from the floor. If you paid your dues after December 31, you are paid through 2024, you just can’t run for an office or vote. Our Christmas party is being catered by Hy-Vee, and we will begin the party after the presidential release.
