9:00 A.M. – Executive Board Meeting 9:30 A.M. –General Assembly meets
We are planning to hold all meetings in-person, and hope the vast majority of our members will attend. If circumstances require us to resume online meetings members will be informed and Zoom meeting links will be provided. For those who can’t attend in person, we will offer a Zoom link for some meetings. Due to varying Wi-Fi availability, results are not guaranteed. Please let your caller know whether you plan to attend in person or by Zoom when she calls for your RSVP.
Important Reminders:
1. If you have not been contacted to RSVP at least one week prior to any meeting, contact your Designated Caller. If you can’t reach her, call the Hostess Chair.
2. If a member reserves a meal, but is then unable to attend the meeting or chooses to attend via Zoom instead, she is still responsible to pay for her meal and room fee.
3. Make all meal payment checks out to MU CHAPTER.
