🚨 ATTENTION YCNF MEMBERS 🚨

Please disregard any email reminders about a general meeting tonight at the airport. There is NO meeting tonight.

Summer is typically our off-season, and we will resume planning in the fall. We will keep everyone posted on future meetings and events.

Also, please check your email for the volunteer survey sent last week. If you volunteered and did not receive it, please send us a PM or email.

Have a great summer, everyone! ☀️
