BOD can vote to forgo the 30 day notice if it comes up and has in the past here and there when meetings are sparse...........

 

[RSnodgrass]

Bring on the meetings, I would like to add...
does your system need to be fancy?
No, we all love to nerd out so just embrace it!

 

[cheezybuda]

There is no "too far" from the cities
And tank is not required.
Would still love to have you host a meeting.
