2008-2009
MEETINGS AND EVENTS
Our chapter holds a general meeting each
month, September through June, We have
a guest speaker at every meeting. The meetings are open to the public, and provide
a good introduction to our group for prospective members, as well as being
popular with home-schoolers. We generally meet the third Monday of each month,
at 7:00 p.m. . The one exception to this is the December
meeting. It is the 2nd
Monday of the month. Our meetings are
held at the First Presbyterian
Church, 521 Lakeside. Please check our website
for any last-minute changes. 
Our June meeting is a picnic, the location announced
in the May Newsletter. Board
Meetings are held once a month at 4:30 p.m.
at Mountain West Bank, 125 Ironwood, prior to the
general meetings.
