Dear Members,

It is a busy time for our League. It is a busy time for our League. I hope you were able to attend our two virtual events earlier this month. It’s also time for our Annual Meeting on May 25th at 6:30 p.m., where we will pass the 2022-2023 Budget, Local Program, and elect officers.

The other good news is that League work is beginning to return to normal. Please stop by and say “hello”.
