In an effort to support as many businesses in our community as possible, the board has decided to hold this year's meetings at Country Caterer’s. This is the former Brown House/Scotch 'n Sirloin, and is located at 1775 Marion-Waldo Road, just south of Marion Centre (formerly the Southland Mall).

Meetings are held on Mondays. Please mark your calendar for our tentative schedule as follows:

2009-2010 Updates:

Many of our programs were in response to feedback from our members - we appreciate this and encourage your suggestions throughout the year. We also will continue to have a Display table, with displays coordinating (if possible) with our program. Please contact Jeannie Brewer if you are interested in having a Display table.

We will continue to have the News Table available this year. This is the place where you can display literature, fliers and other important information you would like to share with our membership.
