THE RAPTOR REPORT
Coming soon to your inbox...
PIE LOGO With the school year winding down quickly, it is again time to elect officers for the 2013-2014 PIE Board of Directors. The Nominating Committee has been busy finalizing the slate of officers to put forth for the general membership's vote. As in the past, this vote will take place via the Raptor Report email list. As soon as I receive the information, I will send out a special email giving the proposed slate of officers along with instructions for voting.
