The next meeting of CVO will be on Zoom on this coming Wednesday, March 15th at 7 PM.
At our March 15 meeting, we will be taking nominations for the CVO Board, with the election to take place at the April 19 meeting, our official Annual Meeting. Those to be nominated need to be members in good standing (i. e., paid up dues) and either be present to accept the nomination, or email me that you will accept a nomination. You can nominate yourself. We expect to get an update on the status of the VACCC from their Supt., Elizabeth Soto.
