The first monthly business meeting will take place on Monday, September 22, 2014 from 7 to 8:30 pm at the West Tisbury Public Library.
Until then, we plan to have a series of organizational gatherings on Monday evenings, from 7 to 8:30 pm at the West Tisbury Library. All are welcome to these organizational meetings. Beginning in late September, in addition to a monthly general/program meeting, we plan to sponsor weekly 'drop in' gatherings or 'bees' on Monday evenings for members who would like to share, get input, and learn together. These meetings will be held at the West Tisbury Library from 7 to 8:30 pm. See the list of topics suggested by Founding Members. |
