May 9, 2017 Meeting Notes
Dear CHNA members,
First I’d like to offer apologies in advance. I have just received the helm of Secretary and the distribution list for CHNA. If you have repeats or mail sent to addresses you no longer use, or if you’d like to be removed from this list, please let me know. I will work to correct this as soon as possible. Lisa McConnell at lisaamcc@hotmail.com Second I’d like to reiterate our distribution list tradition. Generally, we send out only 2 emails a month: once for meeting notice and Agenda, next for meeting notes. Occasionally, when there is a particularly urgent or time sensitive item that falls between these two mailings, we may send out an additional email to the list. You should be receiving no more than 2 or 3 mailings from us in one month. If you are getting more mail than this, please let us know and we will look into the security of our list.
