Membership Report - Owen Haxton: As of June 20, we have 37 chapter members. This is the last year of the required dual membership. 46 were eligible to vote in CGJA last year. Owen sent out e-mails. In order to vote, people must join CGJA by July 31. His personal goal is to have 100 chapter members (60 CGJA members). Betty stated that Catherine McKown and Karin Hern will run for the CGJA Board. Important to join both, so we can have an effect. The organization is doing well.
