Get Together

Some of our NOVA Chapter 226 Board Members met after work on Wednesday, January 29, 2020 at Joe’s American Bar & Grill in Dedham, MA. Since several board members were recently elected, we took this opportunity to discuss the role and expectations of the board members over dinner. We also started planning future events. Our chapter just purchased a popcorn maker and will be having several popcorn socials in the near future. Stay tuned!
