Club Meeting - A Better Tent City Update
Jun. 16, 2025 12:00 p.m. - 1:00 p.m.

A Better Tent City Report

One of the suggestions that has come from the strategic planning review we have conducted so far is to keep members better informed about our ongoing projects and the good work we do in the community.  We have been providing support to A Better Tent City for several years now and our meeting on Monday, June 16 will provide members with an update on our connection with them and the great work we are doing there.

As we move into the summer months we will be returning to having a few of our meetings via ZOOM, starting with this one.  The ZOOM Link details are below.

Please register or decline by Sunday, June 15.
