The Law Union of Ontario’s Annual General Meeting
The meeting is open to members and those interested in joining the Law Union.
The Steering Committee will update you on the projects with which we have been involved throughout the year. We will also look at what is planned for the coming year.
Elections will also be held for the Law Union’s new Steering Committee. If you plan to run for the Steering Committee, please send me a private e-mail, so that we can keep track and numbers (and know if we’ll need a “formal” election.) We encourage you to join the Steering Committee and otherwise get involved with our good causes. We are always in need of more people to work on the many projects.
Food and socializing to follow…details T.B.A.
