Monthly Meetings
Meetings are held at the Downers Grove Public Library. See our Program Schedule page for more details. We start with an officers meeting and social time at 9:30 AM (all members are welcome to attend). The regular meeting starts at 10:00 AM with a brief business update and "Show & Tell" followed by a topical program.
MEETING CANCELLATION PROCEDURE: The Guild Board has hammered out a meeting cancellation policy as follows... In the event of severe weather or other emergency, the decision to cancel a regularly scheduled meeting of the guild rests with the First Vice President (1VP) Nancy W or other person in charge of running the program for that day. The 1VP contacts the Web Master (or back-up) who will post a notice on the web site and send an e-mail to all members of the guild. The 1VP also contacts the coffee person and the other members of the guild board. Every effort should be made to accomplish these steps by 8 am on the day of the meeting. Members who do not have e-mail are asked to contact the 1VP or any of the board members to find out if a meeting has been canceled. |
