Sorry this is late…lots of activities this past weekend and I’m catching up.
HEADS UP: To locate all our events, details, and registration information, please go to our HCR Calendar and you can find these events there with registration links.
SPECIAL MESSAGE:
We still have an opening for a Board position: Region Safety Chair. (It’s not a tough job, and there are already two event Safety Coordinators on the team and in place for AX and SchnellFest). This is a voting position on the Board.
We also have some open Event Coordinator positions available. If anyone has an interest in these or the Region Safety Chair position, please email Carl Rossi
- Distinguished Speaker Series (easy job with lots of support in place)
- Webmaster (new website is up and running; this is an easy babysitting job)
