From the Office Association Meeting Date Change Each May, the SJCS Association holds its annual business meeting to elect new trustees and approve the upcoming budget. We had originally scheduled this meeting for tonight (5/7), but a few last-minute changes have come up, and we would like the opportunity to present complete information to the group. Therefore, we will be moving the meeting date to Monday, 5/14 at 7:30pm in the SJCS Auditorium. An email with the meeting materials will go out to Association members by the middle of the week so that everyone has a chance to read the materials ahead of time.
