The sun is shining, the birds are chirping and it is so nice to see this warm, beautiful weather. And it looks like people are ready to get out and golf! Our annual golf tournament on June 21 (the first day of Summer!) is almost full. If you're planning on golfing please register as we will be closing registration soon. We also have a few sponsorships remaining. Additional information can be found here.
Our fiscal year comes to a close at the end of June. Prior to that, we have several virtual events including an ethics class for those hard-to-find CPE credits and our annual Future is Now series on June 29th and 30th. We hope to see you there. Also, look for information below on our virtual Annual Business Meeting on July 14th.
We are excited that we appear to be coming out of the pandemic and restrictions are being lifted. With that good news, we are starting to plan in-person events. Look for event announcements soon for a July 20th Happy Hour/Social event AND our 2021-2022 kickoff Membership Meeting at the Walker Art Center in September.
We always love to hear from you. Please email either of us and/or take a moment to select the items you would like to see more of in our monthly newsletters in the quick poll below.
