PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
Hello Chapter 8 Members,
Once upon a time, New England Chapter 8 had a regular June meeting, and our meetings were held in various New England states from which we draw members of Chapter 8. In this spirit and for the first time in years, we are experimenting by attempting to bring back the June meeting and having a meeting in Connecticut this year. If one or both of these ideas appeal to you, then I would recommend that you vote with your feet by attending. We are trying new things and paying attention to the results. We hope these ideas will be successful and they will be with your support! I hope to see you in Bristol and welcome your input.
Chris
