In addition to our celebration of Agatha Christie, the following items are on the gaenda:
Business: We need candidates for the 2025 Chapter Board. ALL positions will be available. Interested parties should email miscmunsch@gmail.com so we can put your name in the hat. Don’t be shy. Ask any questions about the positions.
There is an interest in forming a ‘marketing’ subcommittee to promote the chapter and the authors within. We’ll talk about this at the meeting but if you are interested, please reach out to Lorena.
