DUE TO HURRICANE MILTON'S EFFECT ON POWER AND TEMPORARY CLOSURE OF SRQ AIRPORT, WE HAVE HAD TO CANCEL Our 2024-25 Season Opening Program on Oct. 17th
We hope all members and guests have come through the storms safely.
While we would like to reschedule our talk on Safeguarding the Information Environment for the 2024 Elections, it is not likely that we will be able to do so. We will send members a message if we can reschedule.
