We like to keep the meeting short but are always interested in your questions and thoughts, so be thinking about anything you want to share. We especially appreciate your ideas on locations for any places you would like to paint and/or dates you would like to claim in order to host a paint out…these ideas are the life blood of our organization and are, basically, what we are here for. We may not go as late as 3:00.
