Please join your fellow PVCA members for the annual Fall Member Meeting, taking place Thursday, November 7th, 6:30 - 8:30pm at the Bremen Town Ballroom in Millheim.

This year's meeting will follow the World Café format, which is "a powerful social technology for engaging people in conversations that matter, offering an effective antidote to the fast-paced fragmentation and lack of connection in today’s world."

Tables will be set for each of PVCA's various committees. Each table will be led by either a PVCA employee, Board member or committee member and will have a question for the participants to elicit responses. Each discussion consists of an overview of the committee’s role and responsibilities, as well as their contribution to the PVCA mission. After ten minutes, participants will move to the next table until everyone has had an opportunity to visit each committee. We will all then rejoin as a group to review the feedback at the end of the meeting.

Members will be casting ballots for individuals seeking to join the PVCA Board of Directors. We will also be presenting an overview of the annual finances, as well as an overview of PVCA's education and watershed projects.

Keep an eye out for our mailing to arrive within the next few days.

Any questions before then, please contact us at info@pennsvalley.net.
