May Meeting

We had another great meeting via Zoom on May 18th. Ellyn presided over the installation of the chapter officers as follows: president-Stacey, president elect-Laura, secretary-Allison, treasurer and altruistic chairperson-Val, Ellyn- membership chairperson, Leona-ADK month chairperson, Pam-club historian, and Kristen- chaplain and sergeant-at-arms. After the installation, members thanked Ellyn for doing such an awesome job as president. The next meeting will be a planning meeting for the upcoming year. It was suggested that we do that meeting on Zoom as well. We may have to use the free Zoom with a 40 minute limit unless someone has a paid subscription we can use. If you are new to Zoom, feel free to ask Ellyn or Stacey if you have any questions.
