Our live meetings have been held at the Bolingbrook Fountaindale Library but we have been holding our meetings virtually since the pandemic began since March 2020. However, there is now the possibility of holding live meetings going forward but will be decided as they are defined.

This will also be considered an Annual Meeting (which usually would be the year's January general meeting), when we will have half of the group's Board Member slots being voted on by the audience. If anyone that is considered a paid member of the group wants to be included on the ballot for the Board Member vote, please say so when the question is brought up.
