We hope you will join us on October 19th at 10 AM at the Litchfield Community Center [421 Bantam Road, Litchfield, CT]. The meeting and our time for chatting with one another will run until noon. We would love to see you and connect face-to-face with all of our members.

Also, as per our bylaws, only members of the FTSF as of the annual meeting (dues paid by October 17th) are eligible to vote and to be elected to the Board of Directors.
​
The following is the proposed slate for our 2020 FTSF Board. At the annual meeting we will also call for any nominations from the floor before the vote.  There are 5 open positions on the Board. The proposed list is as follows:

·  Carol Gould - President
