Hi all,

The MAPA General Meeting is just around the corner, to be held on September 25th, 6-8 in the evening. It is a pot luck and is a family-friendly event. The food assignments are: A-H: dessert, I-Q: main dish, R-Z: salad or side dish. Bring a blanket to sit on or chairs as this event will be outdoors, weather permitting. Academica West will be onsite to fingerprint for background checks.  These checks are for folks interested in being field trip drivers. The cost is $60 for a six year period. Please consider doing this as we are in need of drivers and this is a fun way to fulfill your 40 volunteer hours.

The agenda for the meeting is still being worked out, but plan on a brief meeting with handouts for you to take home and look over at your leisure. This evening is going to be a great time to socialize and get to know your MAPA Officers and Committee Chairs.

Hope to see you there!
