FOOD FUN INFORMATION NEW DIRECTION The Network Council has recommended the following changes in dues structure to begin July 1, 2010. The Council is simplifying the dues structure. The new structure will actually result in an overall decrease in revenues: this is possible because of online access and the reduction of mailings to members. Council is also going to announce some new programs and benefits at the meeting on Nov. 17, 2009. If you have questions or concerns please e-mail Bernyce Christiansen christiansen@ursulinestl.org) We will have a discussion and vote on the new dues structure.
We will introduce some new programs and benefits for members. Come give us input on programs you’d like to see. Please join us. Snacks provided. When: Tuesday Nov. 17, 2009 --3:30 p.m. – 5:30 p.m.
