This is how the program will be conducted. When you arrive, sign up on the clipboard that Nikki Schofield will monitor. Our program is one hour long, so if six people sign up, they will each have 10 minutes to talk. If twelve people sign up, each person can speak about their item(s) for five minutes. If twenty people sign up, each person has three minutes to talk. Be mindful of your time limit. If the item can be handled, pass it around for the members to see up close. Depending on how long our business meeting takes, the program time can be adjusted accordingly – less business, more show and tell. We want everyone to have an opportunity to share their treasurers, and will not cut anyone off. We can be a little flexible. Start setting aside what you plan to bring so you are not scrambling to find that precious something just before it’s time to leave for the meeting!
