Secretary's Report: 
 
We are continuing to ask our members to sign up for meals each week to help us control food waste and membership costs.  
 
Tabs are available at the bottom of the spreadsheet for the upcoming months. The weekly menus are also shown. Many members have found it easy to sign up for all of the weeks they plan to attend and then remove themselves by Friday if they find their schedule has changed.
