Please join us for our Annual Members Meeting on Sunday, April 28, 1 -  4 p.m. (MST) via Zoom. This will be a time to reconnect, celebrate our year’s successes and prepare for the year to come.

Registration is required to attend the meeting.  Registration link.

Do not share your registration link. As members will be voting on business matters, each member must join using their own unique link and ensure their name is displayed accurately during the ZOOM meeting.

We ask that all MP members join the meeting on a computer using the ZOOM link provided in the confirmation email you will receive after you register. Voting during the business meeting requires a computer or a smartphone.

Please prepare a written copy of any motion to amend a proposed amendment to the bylaws if you wish to do so during the meeting.  Amendments to the proposed bylaws must be in writing and submitted via email to the secretary at infolwvmp@gmail.com no later than 5:00 p.m. on April 22nd.
