Friday, March 15, 2024

Please do not arrive before 7:15 pm. Also, if you are joining us on Zoom, please do not join the meeting before 7:15 pm on the day of the meeting. This Zoom account is used for various meetings throughout the week but just one meeting can occur at a time.

Zoom codes are at the end of this message.

Our next meeting will be both an in-person meeting and a Zoom meeting. If enough people from outside the Chicago area attending Zoom meetings become Club members, this will encourage the Club to make hybrid meetings a permanent feature. Dues are $20 which includes four glossy newsletters sent by mail. The dues renewal is sent with the fourth newsletter. We still have slide shows which will not be presented via Zoom.
