Summer Joint Meeting event: Looking to change location this year. 3 locations were discussed for August 1st date. One location was Hudson, NY. Fire marshals’ association retirement home location. Donation would be wanted, $15 a person roughly. Treehouse location was discussed in Charleton and Deerfield, Mass. Williams Inn in Williamstown, Mass was also looked at.
