The Labor/Admin meeting for the month of June will be this next Tuesday, June 25th, @ 0900 in the conference room of Station 1. Following that, Levy/Admin will be conducted as well, also in the conference room of Station 1. The Zoom link for both of those meetings has been messaged out to everyone.

During this meeting both the Local and the District will present their plans for the upcoming levy campaign. Your attendance would be greatly appreciated.
