CONGREGATIONAL MEETINGS

The Winter Congregational Meeting is held in early December. The Spring Congregational Meeting is held in mid-May. We precede these meetings with two Town Halls in order to present information and give members an open forum to ask questions. 

When the Board of Trustees sets the dates for these meetings, they are announced through several channels including the newsletter, daily e-blasts and the online calendar in the footer of this website.
