Board Meetings - All Members Welcome

We will meet in the community room at the Winnetka Park District, 540 Hibbard Road, as we have in previous years. Members should gather at 9:15, and the meetings will begin promptly at 9:30 a.m. The meetings will be in the morning unless otherwise noted.

As you will notice, we have reduced the number of meetings, so that we will meet once every two months. Of course, as most of you already know, we welcome all our members to any or all board meetings. We strongly encourage you to come, particularly if you have an issue or interest that you would like us to pursue.

The schedule for the 2011-2012 year is:

Monday, March 5

Monday, May 14 + Annual Meeting (5:30 p.m.)

Monday, June 4 New-Old Board Meeting (time and place to be announced)

We look forward to a productive and interesting year together.

Sincerely,

Joan Fragen, Jane Goldenberg, Nancy Marcus, and Charlene Shryer
