Our annual meeting will be held on Sunday, January 24, 2021 at 2:00pm virtually, via the Zoom video meeting platform – our first ever virtual annual meeting. For those of you who have attended past Annual Meetings, we have often hosted this event at a wonderful venue serving refreshments. This year we have partnered with local businesses to give our attendees some wonderful food and beverage choices all available for safe curbside pickup at Emmerton House on the day of our meeting.

RSVP and order now, and pickup curbside at Emmerton House from 11am – 1pm that Sunday in plenty of time to get home and join the meeting! *If purchasing food selections, please place your order by Wednesday, January 20.

Invite others! Our Annual Meeting is a great opportunity to invite friends and colleagues to join us and see what we are all about. It helps recruit new members, volunteers, and donors, and let’s the community in on the good work we do. Invite a friend to share in a nosh and the meeting!
