Friends of Euclid Creek May Update

Dear Friends of Euclid Creek members, volunteers and friends,

Sadly, due to the on-going pandemic, Friends is cancelling the Annual Meeting and Picnic scheduled for June 2nd. We will see what the future brings for group meetings and let you know. But right now we have important business to conduct with the election of a new board of directors and officers for the term 2020-2022. Members who have paid their dues within the last year will be emailed the below election slate. If you have not paid since last year's picnic we would appreciate your renewal. Your support will be helpful when we do resume programming. We continue to have on-going costs related to maintaining the organization. Dues for couples or families remains $35.00; for individuals it's $25.00; and, for seniors and students it is $20. You can send your dues to Friends of Euclid Creek, P.O. Box 21384, South Euclid, Ohio 44121. Ken Messenger-Rapport, President will be sending the ballots soon.
