The final ‘in person’ Chapter Council Meeting of the year was scheduled for Friday & Saturday, May 13-14, 2022. Unfortunately, I fell ill with a cold and a cough, not Covid related, hence, Marsha Arnold, our Affinity Benefits and Pension Rep. had kindly stepped in at a moment’s notice and she did an excellent job in this membership drive.
Please read below, a brief report of the meeting from our President, Christine.
