A raised discussion about having an alternate date should the meeting be
cancelled due to a storm. The suggestion of utilizing one hour or less, of the
workshop day at the end of the month when the hall is booked was favoured and
will be utilized. The time frame will cover only essential business items, will
not offer Show and Tell and will not interfere greatly with any planned
instruction day.
