Our vice president Don Shepherd will be presiding over the meeting, because I am away getting a new guide dog. David Hamel will not be attending this meeting. He is away. However, it is important that we all have our chapter dues paid by December 31 especially if you plan on running for election, or voting. You will not be able to run for an office or vote if your dues are not paid by December 31. you are welcome to get in touch with David Hamel, and pay your dues that way. You can pay them at the December meeting. If you have cash with you, you can give your dues to Don Shepherd and when I get back, I can either collect them and take them to David or David can gather them. A As always if you have any questions or need to speak with me, please contact me office list at my email or phone number listed below. I will respond.
