We will be holding our October meeting on Thursday the 8th at Fish Camp in Smithgall Woods State Park. This will be a chapter business meeting as discussion will be centered on our fund raising events such as the Hoot on the Hooch. We will also be discussing the changes being made to Trout Camp and Dream Trip ticket purchases. We will be wearing our masks and practicing social distancing to keep the risk of transmission of coronavirus at a minimum. As there will be no speaker and the meeting will be outdoors, I’d like to get the meeting started right around 6pm. If you need a little more time to get there please let me know and we’ll adjust as needed. The risks of Coronavirus remains and each of us needs to decide what is in our own best interests. We will have a raffle quilt again this year. I plan to have it at the meeting so we can include it in our discussions.
I hope everyone is safe and well as the season changes over to fall.
