This activity is to give an opportunity for the Executive Board to report what the organization has been doing and have accomplished in the past year. Of equal importance, We would like to use this activity to re-connect with the members, active or inactive, and get feedback on how to better our organization moving forward. This will be done as we break bread and give thanks. It is going to be a good day to recommit our energies to giving thanks, and just giving.ย
