Future Meeting Dates Update |
|
When Bashford Church was closed for renovations, the NSNA meeting continued to be held on the first Thursday of the month at Hawthorne Library. The library has a new reoccurring event scheduled that same night, and there was just enough of a conflict often enough to warrant moving our meeting cadence off of Thursday to Wednesday. This new routine will start with our July meeting on Wednesday, July 1st. |
|
Looking ahead to August, however, the community room was already reserved the first Wednesday that month, so the August NSNA meeting will be Monday, August 3rd instead. |
|
We will continue to post the meeting time, location, and agenda on the home page blog and update the Google Calendar meeting. If you miss our meeting and come to Hawthorne on the wrong day, you’re still at a library and that’s pretty cool too. |
