Call to Order The October Member Meeting was called to order at 1:32 pm by President Katie Haugse. A quorum was declared with members attending in person and by Zoom.Katie presented a brief review on how to use and find the Member Minutes and information under the “about” tab on RVGS’ web page. She reiterated that we are in need of volunteers to keep RVGS open, citing the closure of the Grants Pass society. We are unable to continue our partnership with OR-CAL due to GP’s situation, so speakers’ costs can no longer be shared across this platform.
