Kelby One Training
Kelby One prefers that we use a group membership discount rather than using one license for the whole club. The group membership for 5 to 20 members would cost $159 per person. For 21 to 40 members the cost would be $149/person. We must have a minimum of five members before we can get the group membership cost. If you are interested, contact Barb at [email protected]. Payments must be received by February’s meeting. To date, we have received three payments.
Board Member Elections
It’s the end of the year and time to start thinking about who you would like to represent you on the board. If you would like to nominate someone for a position, please send an email to [email protected]. Positions up for elections are:
- Vice President
- Secretary
