A draft agenda for our next meeting is provided below and has been e-mailed to all members on the Groups.io member mailing list. As always, anyone who wants to add to it should pipe up anytime between now and the time it gets adopted at the start of the meeting! (That's why it's a draft agenda!)
I hope y'all will attend. Few attended in December. Not only is there great food and fellowship at Tres Amigos (even beer, if you want it) but this is also the meeting where the rubber hits the road in terms of deciding how the club spends your dues in 2024.
Speaking of dues -- no one's going to object if you pay them now, although they officially aren't "due" until this meeting. If you want to pay at the meeting, that's good too. I'll be there with the receipt book and will happily relieve you of that extra $25 (individual), $30 (family), or $10 (senior) that's been burning a hole in your pocket.
