JoAnn- the programs are set for 2010. She is currently looking for speakers for 2011. She is also looking for members to put on the guild workshop in 2010.
Because the tax issue wasn't passed in Colorado Springs, we will ask guild members to form a committee for a place for the guild to meet since the Senior Center will probably close at some point.
Elections will be done in November. Laural will make a poster of those who are running for Board positions. Mary will send out an email or postcard to inform members that elections will be held at the November meeting. We will also need a motion at the November meeting to give the Senior center our annual donation of $500.00
