We will resume meetings on the second Tuesday, December 8, 2015.

Our evening meeting had a special visitor, Area Director, Manjanuth Shetty Subbaiah. We appreciate his insightful speech and helpful chapter feedback. We would like to remind members to bring their Competent Leadership manuals to meetings to get credit for leadership roles. Also, please sign up on Easy Speak early and often to help prepare for upcoming meetings.
