A quorum of 50 people is sought to conduct the meeting. Please note that no meal or refreshments will be served. There will be no entertainment nor prize drawing. Preventive distancing and sanitation measures will be employed for attendees.

Whether you are voting in the director election or for the proposed amendment changes, we encourage you to vote by mail.
