Membership meetings are held on the second Friday of every month. The idea behind this schedule is so members can plan to attend meetings on a regular basis and so that the Board of Trustees can plan and schedule clinics and speakers, seminars and any events or ideas that members can think up. All this with the hope that you as members will find it easier to participate knowing that these gatherings will be held at the same time and same place every month.
