Dear BNC members:
Happy Spring! Our next general meeting where you can sign up for events is next Tuesday, April 16th. As usual the doors open at 9:30 at the United Trinity Methodist Church on Nash Street in Southport across from the Southport post office. We will have coffee and snacks (feel free to bring some if you wish). Make sure to bring your checks or cash with you to sign up for activities.
We will be conducting the election process for two open board spots for the next fiscal year. The openings are for President and First Vice President. Our 2nd VP, Treasurer, and Secretary will be staying to complete their two-year commitments. If you are interested in either of the openings, please have someone nominate you and someone second the nomination. The installation of the board occurs at the May meeting.
Our speaker this month is Carrie Pasquarello, CEO & Co-Founder of Global Resources Inc. She will speak to us about safety at home and safety as we travel.
