To all-
Last year, CHNA moved to a schedule of meetings approximately every other month. We have regularly scheduled meetings on the 2nd Tuesday of each month in September, November, January, March, and May. As needed, we may schedule additional meetings based on specific topics that are more imminent than our regular meeting schedule allows.
We also periodically send out emails to the distribution list to provide updates on topics and notices of upcoming events that may be of interest.
The following highlights upcoming events and activities over the next couple of months. Please contact us at centralhoughton@gmail.com if you have any questions, comments, or ideas for future meeting topics.
Please take advantage of the opportunity to provide input to the above programs and projects.
