We will meet in the Commons and find a room to gather.  Plan on getting up to speed on the financials and budget and discussing past and upcoming voluteer activities with our Partners-in-Giving Champions. 

We will also talk about the "All Community Up-Date", scheduled for April 15th and discuss the "All Community" mailing, which will be sent out at our April meeting.  Contact Melissa Johnston at melissajohnsmail@yahoo.com or (952) 239-2444 if you have any questions.
