President Poirier announced that the Board made donations to six charities located in Lee County. In February, a Nominating Committee will be formed to prepare a slate of officers to present at the March meeting and then hold elections in April. Anyone interested in serving on this committee, should contact the president. She also announced that, in the future, while the cost of lunch remains the same, tax and tip will be an additional cost.
