Annual General Meeting 2022

Every January, SVCC holds an Annual General Meeting of members to report on the club’s accomplishments and member activities from the past year, and to elect members to the Board of Directors and vote on other club items. This year is a little different, but the idea is the same. We hope you can join us to catch up, reconnect, and discuss future plans.
