Meeting Schedule Changes

| 2013 will bring changes to our volunteer meeting schedule
As our volunteer program grows to involve specialized training we will be changing from a monthly meeting format to a new quarterly meeting and training. Team Captains at each of the team sites will be encouraged to host meetings in non-quarterly meeting months with their local groups. Additionally, we will host specialized training classes throughout the year, so pay attention to our announcements and City calendar.
This year we will meet as one large group, once a quarter with the following schedule:
8:00 AM to 12:00 PM at North Net Training Center
Saturday, January 12, 2013
Saturday, April 13, 2013
