I will open the room at 8:45 and hope that we start the meeting promptly at 9:30. Please try to get in as early as you can so we make sure that the meeting is set up properly.Remember that one of the biggest things is going to be voting in our new constitution. Remember that even though it would be approved by our body, it’s still has to be finalized by the state board and I would like to try to get that to President Porterfield prior to our August meeting. there is a lot more to discuss as you will see in the agenda. Will see you on Saturday<div>Sincerely,</div><div>Bradley Kuhn</div><div>Phoenix chapter president<br><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><br></div></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=us-ascii"><meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 15 (filtered medium)"><style><!--
