What's Happening this week: President Billie's Farewell Meeting, Installation of Officers June 13


Message from President Billie Araiza
Greetings!

Please join me this Wednesday for my President’s Farewell Meeting on Zoom at noon. This will be an opportunity for us to look back at some of the things we have accomplished as a club this year. This was a year of COVID-19 Quarantine, but SI Chico was still able to give back to our community. As a club, we accomplished a lot and I know our members are proud to be a part of an organization that continues to support one another and our community.

Thank you to all the Co-Chairs and Board members who have submitted their end-of-the-year reports. If you are a Co-Chair or a Board member and have not submitted your end-of-the-year report yet, please have it submitted to me by this Friday, at the latest. Yes, I am keeping track of who has submitted their reports and yes, I am reading them. Joyce has been uploading them into Dropbox for us, so they will be in our club archives for future club years to access. It’s important to keep a paper trail, so please submit your reports.

I’m looking forward to seeing all your smiling faces Wednesday. See you soon! 

With Gratitude,

President Billie
