DAD Meeting update (September 9, 2021)

DAD Biannual meeting and elections details finalized!

Date: September 9, 2021, 11a-4p

Where: American Legion Pavilion, 113 American Legion Rd, Lewes, DE 19958

What: Biannual meeting and elections for new officers. Any bylaw changes will be discussed then also provided we get changes NOW as bylaws state we must send out changes before the meeting. Activities will be provided and we encourage you to bring things to do too (i.e. bean bag toss).

Unconfirmed: food and drinks distributed (More on this later on)

Covid notice: Please follow CDC or state Covid guidelines during the meeting. We will be meeting outside as meeting inside is not possible due to covid restrictions. That means masks if social distancing is not possible to respect everyone’s health. Covid vaccinations are strongly recommended to reduce complications.
