OLRHS ANNUAL MEETING

[pshrake]

I know its been a long time, but we are holding a meeting of the OLRHS at the home of Marc and Sue Miller at Greys Lake, Illinois (directions will be provided in a later post). The meeting will be on Saturday March 22. Currently the meeting will be held at 10:00 but that may be subject to change.

We are still working on the particulars of the meeting, however three main topics of discussion will be:

1. elect a new President
2. select events for next year
and most importantly
3. determine where we are going as a group.

The last point is very important. We have been somewhat drifting the last few years, and I take full responsibility for that. Our group needs to determine the direction of our group.

Are there any other major items that we need to discuss, if so please post or contact me and it will be placed on the agenda.

Final details of the meeting, including agenda and nominations for President will be posted on this thread in the coming days/weeks.
