The RTA bus system has canceled one of the buses that goes Alongside of the Brookside Park. Therefore, Paratransit will not take us to that location any longer. There was diligence done to secure a new location. However, we were not able to obtain a permit, and it was, first come first serve. So, we canceled the picnic and will have a chapter meeting on August 16th at 5 PM on zoom. We will talk about the picnic at that time.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>As a reminder, the Ohio Board of Directors meeting will be in Cincinnati. I am taking names for who would like to attend. If you are interested, please email or text me. The date is September 21. We have to be there at 11 AM will return from that location at 4 PM. Yes, there will be a fee to go to Cincinnati, as we have to pay for transportation. The Board of Directors of Cleveland will have a meeting to discuss assistance with the transportation.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>Finally, please make your hotel reservations for the state of Ohio convention in November.
