Tuesday June 6th – Board Meeting at CalFed Bank on Crow Canyon Road, San Ramon at 7:30pm.
Multi-ring demonstrations from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM both days.With so many new members in the club now, lets all make an effort to wear our name tags to class every month. On the subject of name tags, we will be getting new metal name tags shortly. (Possibly by the June meeting.) They will be available at the monthly meetings at a cost of $2.00. See Bob Evans to get your new name tag. Just a remainder to everyone to bring a piece of plastic to class with you to cover the table during workshop. Also clean-up around your area before you leave to go home. At the start of each meeting, we need to get four volunteers to stay until the end of class to put away the tables and chairs. Lets each do our part in taking turns staying.
Starting in June, the October show committees will have sign-up sheets at each meeting for people to volunteer for what they want to do at the show. Also the sign-up sheets will be available for the food you will be bringing for the hospitality room.
We need a person to represent the Basic Class on the Board of Directors. During the June 5th meeting, the Basic Class will caucus to select their representative. Bring your club roster to class so that you know who the basic members are. The representatives will attend the monthly board meetings and be your representative with the board.
