The purpose of the meeting is to:

– Report on highlights of CLF activities and finances

– Vote for the following leadership positions (see nominations from Nominating Committee in the packet):

· Elect three members to 3-year terms on the board of directors,

· Elect one member to 2-year term on the board of directors to fill a term vacated before the term was finished,

· Elect one member to 1-year term on the board of directors to fill a term vacated before the term was finished,

One of the important tasks we undertake as a congregation is voting for our elected leadership, and my hope is that as many members of the congregation will participate as possible.
