Our Annual Meeting in Little Falls last week was a great success with terrific speakers and insightful discussions! Over 30 people joined us for our first in-person meeting since late 2019.
As a follow-up to the meeting, we have attached two items for your use:
- Draft minutes from the meeting (these will be approved at our September meeting)
