The social part of the meeting starts at 6:00pm, and the business part of the meeting starts at 6:30pm. Paul will email meeting invitations for the monthly club meetings and the monthly coffee meetings to all club members. If you haven't received your invitation by the day of the meeting, please send an email to info@fcdcc.com, and either Paul or I (Mike Barry) will send you the meeting ID and password. Pay your dues for 2021 to Dave Chamness (3854 Braidwood Drive, Fort Collins, CO 80524) if you haven't already paid. Annual dues are $25/member with $15 for a spouse and $10 for each additional child under 18. You can now pay your dues ONLINE with PayPal!!! We currently have $3996 in the club account. Dues are down, but our expenses are down even more. We didn't hold elections for a new President Elect in November, but we should elect a new President Elect before 2022. We will probably continue to hold our club meetings on ZOOM through at least the end of 2021 due to the uncertainty of the COVID pandemic. We are still investigating a venue for next year. Some of the SIG meetings and outings are being held on ZOOM, but many of them are on hold until the COVID-19 Pandemic is over, and a few outings have been held in person and outside.
