The Board of Directors meets monthly, usually the 3rd Thursday of the month.  Members, staff and facility renters can submit letters or emails for consideration at these meetings.  These requests must be submitted 15 days in advance of the monthly meeting and will be added to the agenda at the discretion of the Executive.
