Annual Back to School Chapter Meeting |
We are excited to announce that our Annual Back-to-School Chapter Meeting this year will again be held at the Millhouse at the Philip S. Miller Park in Castle Rock. We can’t wait to see everyone this year!
The event will kick off with a Vendor Fair showcasing some of our awesome Preferred Vendors, then move to a brief business meeting along with a question and answer session. Many of our generous vendors will be offering samples and donating prizes for our end of the evening drawing!
We are always looking for ways to improve this meeting to make sure you are getting the most out of the evening. If there are any topics that you would like to cover please reach out to Kim Meigs at kmeigs@dcsdk12.org.
