Starting New Interest Sections:
If you have an idea for starting a new Interest Section, contact the Vice-President (Margaret Israel). She will help you in this effort. It takes 8 members to begin a new Interest Section. A notice can be put in the "Newsletter" with the information on meeting times and goals of the new Group. We prefer not to have 2 Interest Sections meeting at the exact same time. Interest Sections need not meet every month. We are always delighted to have new Interest Sections!
