We will use the, Ohio conference line. Why you ask? Well, the reasoning is that neighboring Chapters are wanting to attend. It is said that the Cleveland Chapter is a great model for what a Chapter is to look like. Therefore, we want to make a great impression on Friday. I will be the primary host for the meeting; to ensure that background noise is limited. Please call in 10 minutes prior, so that the meeting can start on time. I am requesting able members to assist our members with dialing in. Please extend an invitation to connect someone into the call. Essentially, using the buddy system. Note! Executive Board members are not expected to do this, due to their presentations on the agenda.
