At the October members meeting we presented our need to move our meetings to the Mid-Iowa Scout Center, and as a result, to change the day of the month we hold Member Meetings to the Third Thursday of the month. For many years we have met on the Second Tuesday.

Members, once you log in you can view this presentation here.

Thank you to all of our members who let us know how this change affects (or doesn't affect) you. Some members will be able to attend a meeting for the first time in many years, others now have a conflict or find the new venue further away, but the majority of you responded that the new place and time are as good as the old.

November is also our Annual Meeting, at which we will elect next year's Board of Directors. If you have been curious about getting more involved with the Association, let us know atThis email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.! We'd love to hear from you. We will have two open positions with no one yet declared for them:

• Gary is stepping down as Secretary after 5 years volunteering.
• The Community Service Chair, which coordinates volunteer opportunities and wood project donations to other groups, has been open for 18 months. We have several projects waiting for a steward to coordinate them.
• In addition, Peter will be retiring from service as Program Chair in February, which runs the Program Committee and arranges speakers for the monthly meetings. Program planning meetings are open to any member who wants to be involved in selecting and scheduling programs for our monthly meeetings.
