AUGUST 4, 2026

All members are invited and encouraged to attend the annual meeting of members each year. The meeting is held on the 1st Tuesday in August, with activities starting at 5:00 pm. The business meeting starts at 7:00 p.m. and ends with prize drawings. Voting for directors is an important part of the annual meeting, as members select who will represent their district on the board. Voting packets are mailed at the same time that online voting becomes available in early July. Each year, a name is drawn from the members who voted online, and another name is drawn from the members who mailed a ballot in. A $100 bill credit will be awarded to winners of each of these drawings.
