Treasures report: Checking: $5260.85 Savings: $5,894.40 Chapter Survey: Andrea called and spoke with a handful of our members, focusing on those who do not attend general meetings regularly. The general consensus was that Thursday mornings are still the best meeting time for the majority of us, and that people think we’re doing a good job in programming. There was still confusion about new forms of communication for the chapter, so we will need to keep emphasizing in emails and meetings that our website is now our central hub.
