Co-chairs also gave their information and list serve contact info.

Announcements

Joel made an announcement for DULCE date and times and the possibility of joining the decal.

Silvia stressed the importance of signing in each and every time there is a CHE event so that hours are accounted for and updated for our members’ convenience.

Andrea emphasized that in order to be a part of CHE you don’t have to take it for units but if you do want units you must pay. She informed members that if you pay you will get the benefit of enjoying assured transportation and other CHE perks. Again, to be a part of CHE did not require anyone to pay.
