The minutes of the February Board Meeting are posted in the Board Documents section of the Members Only part of the website, as is the Treasurer's Report and the 2025 Budget.
In an effort to provide better and more value to our members. The officers and board have decided to expand to what will be called “Club Staff” these will be board approved individuals filling various roles.
Many of these jobs are currently being being covered by our officers and/or board members. Volunteers stepping up and filling these will allow us all to better focus our efforts(as well as open up more time for hawking!). These individuals may be requested to attend board meetings, to provide insight and/or requests regarding their respective area. However they shall remain a non voting individual. As such, these positions do not require any particular class of license, just an individual whom is a Member in good standing with the club. Club staff appointments are volunteer and will be listed on our website and publications along with provided contact email.
