MOSAIC ELECTIONS ARE COMING UP!!!

As we are all aware, the 4th Quarter is drawing to a close, and this means that it is time to think about the Board for next year. We normally schedule our Annual meeting for all to attend concurrent with the Christmas holiday, (25 DEC), and in conjunction with a preceding outdoor event, i.e., a hike or bike just before and in close proximity of the locale for our meeting - more to follow - watch the upcoming newsletters.

As such, below you will find a listing for the Board Positions and an overview of the respective responsibilities. Note that there are 8 official Board members, each with their respective voting right. No others have that voting privilege. If you desire more in-depth information relative to responsibilities, kindly visit our website (tab - "About us", then "document library")

In accordance with our Bylaws, Margie Diamond has been appointed as our Election Commissioner. Any member interested in either running for one of the Board positions, or nominating someone else for a position, needs to do this via email to Margie for recordskeeping. Margie may be reached at jewishnature@bellsouth.net

Let's all look forward to another fun and event-filled year!
