Announcements:
- Susan McConnell reminded us that a new slate of officers will be installed in early July. If anyone has an interest in serving in any particular role please let her know. Note, this is a correction from last week’s minutes which incorrectly stated that a “new slate of officers would be elected in early July.” The election will precede the early July installation of the new officers.
- The next TLI session will be June 24 from 8:00 – 12:00 at Webster University. It will include officer training, networking breakfast, breakout sessions and a raffle. Please see Adam for more details
- Victor Mattison announced that this week was the highest attendance of any week in 2017 (66.7). Great job and thanks to all who continue to make an effort to regularly attend. The meetings and the experience for all members is better when we have robust participation.
