[PACapitalChapter] Capital Chapter Meeting Notes 6-20-20

[CAROLE]

I discovered another mistake! The next meeting is actually August 15th not 18th as I mentioned in my notes! Hope to either see you there if we are back to meeting in person or over Zoom! Everyone take care and enjoy our National Convention!

Oops! My mistake! I thought you said Pembrook! I’m unfamiliar with that particular fund! Now I know! Thanks!
