Dear Dallas Branch Members:
Fall is just around the corner, it will bring new officers and hopefully cooler temperatures. The Dallas Branch Nominations committee has convened and the slate of officers was announced in the August meeting. Don’t forget to vote and nominate others for next year. If you don’t vote via the ballots emailed out, then you can by a paper ballot at the September meeting. I am grateful to all those who have stepped up for next year. Our Branch could not do all we do without many strong leaders, and we are still looking for many committee leads for next year.
