TIMELINES August 19, 2011-Ballots mailed to members of CSI CO-OP.
we had a great time dancing and chatting with our Co-op neighbors. Michigan houses the most members and we have “two” (2) positions available. We have more representatives on the Board of Directors because our membership numbers are much higher in Michigan than any other of the member states. The weather was perfect for the picnic and the food was absolutely wonderful. To our new members, be sure to sign up for next years rally and picnic and have a good time with us.!
