PRESIDENTS

The season has started!  There is a lot happening behind the scenes, and even more will be coming soon.  Make sure you find your place to plug in and be an active part of this wonderful organization.  You'll be glad you did!

As we start ramping up for the new season, there will be a lot of important information to communicate. Make sure you have your Charms account set up. Please check with Mrs. Good if you have any issues. Just a reminder, Charms is our primary means of communication. Please rely on this source rather than various social media groups for the most accurate information.

Please check spam filters for emails sent via charms, especially if you have a XXXX@cox.net.
