Minutes of E-mail Vote
March 30, 2023; E-mail from Lauren, Secretary
Hi Lauch,
Apparently our CSCL Craft Ontario membership has lapsed.
This morning I sent out my March M.A.L. News including your Virtual Invite and reminder to pay
membership dues. In my email I was directing members to the Craft Ontario website and was
curious as to why we aren’t in the directory. So I emailed Elycia.
Do we honestly need to vote on this membership when there is also an award sponsored?
I trust you received my Sunday email of the draft?
Thank you, Lauren
April 4, 2023; E-mail from Lauch, President
Hello Execs,
our Membership in Craft Ontario has waned. The dues will be paid at the end of the week unless
there is a majority nay votes. please weigh in if you issues with continuing the subscription if you
are in favour you don't need to vote.
Thanks Lauch
