We want to get more people involved in planning and running this organization, and we hope that having an election will be a good place to start!

Thank you to everyone who came out on Sunday to vote on the proposed amendments to our organization's bylaws! The amendments were approved unanimously.

Now that the updated bylaws are in place, and as part of an effort to get more people involved in planning and running this organization, we’d like to announce our first-ever election, to be held at our Potluck Picnic on June 4 at Clark Reservation!
