Member Update: 5/5/24

Note to our members. The North Happy Hour is being eliminated from our events calendar. It’s never easy to remove an event, however in this case participation has been low and the event coordinator has taken on a new responsibility within HCR requiring his 100% focus. A new event will be announced soon at a venue more central to the entire region. Thank you for your understanding.

Here is what is happening in the Region.
