Meetings

Here we'll list events and activities scheduled for the upcoming year 2003-2004. We will update this page frequently, so check back often to stay up to date.

Our meetings are held monthly on the third Tuesday of the month. We meet at 6:00 p.m. for our business portion of the meeting. Our guest speaker or educational portion of our meeting is at 7:00 p.m. Occasionally, the date may be changed to accomodate our guest speakers.

Please make sure that we have your correct e-mail address so that we can notify you of upcoming events and any changes to our schedule. We would like to have a published newsletter, however at this time our newsletter is via e-mail.

We meet in the Longview Regional Medical Center Conference Center at 450 Loop 281 near 4th Street.

Since we meet at the dinner hour, members usually bring a snack or a beverage to share. It does not have to be anything fancy and it does not have to be homemade.

We also invite you to bring a guest. We invite any prospective members to come and visit. We invite new ideas for service projects, fundraisers and social gatherings.

We welcome any ideas for future educational programs. We are working hard to make sure that each program that we offer has CE credit for you. There is no charge to the members and their guests.
