May Meeting Minutes 2021
Hello Everyone,
Today we held our May 16, 2021 meeting.
PRESENT: Sharon, Mike, Dawn, Jan, Marlys, Mary, Niomi
TS30:
The Book: We are progressing on TS30. We are doing this on a laptop now and Tarah and I pass the laptop back and forth as we each need to do things.
Possible book party: Things do seem to be opening up again. Possibly we could have a book release party this fall. We have heard that Smokey Hills Resort has new owners. We will try to contact them. Due to Sharon’s work load right now, it would probably have to be October instead of September. And then we could run into snow.
