We successfully held our meeting over Zoom!
RHS Co-Directors of Ensembles Mr. Moon and Mr. Long gave a summary of the school year and a glimpse of what’s ahead for the new year.
Boosters Co-Presidents Michael Dal Cerro and Greg Freeman gave the Boosters report. They shared highlights of the year, our opportunities, the status of our fundraising, and what is ahead for the new year (our financials and operating plan).
Membership approved the proposed budget for the new year ahead (from 7/1/2020 until 6/30/2021) as well as an amendment to the bylaws (changing term limits).
