Our annual Open House on Saturday, September 27th will be somewhat altered this year due to the virus. Your officers are working hard to try to make it close to previous years. It will be called simply "Membership Drive" and everyone should try to help the following as possible:
- One main concentration will be on families, so plan to bring yours.
- Hours are 12 Noon to 4 PM, one hour shorter than previous
- Bring any prospects so that they can note the fellowship and get a chance to enjoy the day.
- Look out for signups if you would like to help that day and get work party credits.
- Food options will be limited, however we are trying to get corporate donations to fill hungry mouths
- Same discounts on new memberships as previous years
- Existing member dues payments for 2021 are welcomed
