Meaning everyone should come to the meeting starting at five minutes to the top of the hour. If you know you are coming to this meeting, and will need interpretation, and or captioning now would be a very good time to email me and ask me to make sure that I get those arrangements made. All Accommodations due to my email box no later than 5 pm Pacific time that's 8 pm Easter time Friday. This is to make sure I have enough time to get all the arrangements made with the national office in a timely manner.<div><br></div><div>Also as a reminder if you have not already paid your dues for 2024 you wish to vote our July annual meeting I would urge you to join the division on National offices website.
