JPNA End of Year Updates

David Aiken  Monthly Meetings

 

As we say goodbye to 2016 and enter 2017, a few administrative updates:

  1. All meeting minutes are posted under the respective Monthly Meeting or Planning and Zoning pages on this site.
  2. All of the meeting dates through June 2017 are also listed on these respective pages.
  3. We welcomed Mary Cole and Andrew Gelling to the Board in November after a vote at the November meeting, replacing Meg Hammond and Marc Savatsky.
  4. We will start again in 2017 on TUESDAY January 10th, due to a conflict with a meeting at the Yacht Club on Monday.

Happy New Year from the JPNA Board!
