Do you want to join the social committee? I wanted to send out a little reminder that if you’re interested in helping plan and put on any events the social committee would love to have you. We’ve recently had a few members of the committee have to step away for personal reasons – so we’d love your help. 

Our committee meets once a month for an hour and tries to host 1 event each month (except during the summer months).  If you are interested in helping our committee OR have some awesome ideas of other events that would be fun to have throughout the year please email me directly (Abbie Finneran – kabfinneran@gmail.com
