The NCBA June Meeting  is our Annual Meet and Greet Potluck / Picnic on Thursday evening June 14, 2012 6:30 – 8:30 P.M. in Berthoud at the South Park Pavilion (click here for a map).  Please plan to bring your own cup, plate and utensils, so we can minimize the waste we generate.   We need lots of volunteers to contribute time and food for this event – please email volunteer@nocobees.org if you can help, and to help coordinate a balance between main dishes, side dishes, salads and deserts!

Future Meeting Ideas - We always want our meetings to address the needs of our membership.  If there is a topic you’d like to see us address, please let us know.  Email NCBApres@nocobees.org.

This month we would like to acknowledge all those who contribute their time, energy and ideas to make the achievements of the NCBA possible – our volunteeers!  As an all-volunteer organization, there is no NCBA without your support.  Many hands make light work – please consider doing what you can.  There are many ways you can contribute.  First, NCBA is in need of a few good leaders.  We need an Education and Outreach coordinator to work with the Volunteer Coordinator with our public outreach events.  Annual Elections are right around the corner.  Those of you willing to share your voice and your experience, please consider offering your name as an Officer or Advisor and being a part of the Executive Committee that guides the NCBA.   As always, we need people willing to assist at our public outreach events, to contribute to the various committees, and to bring refreshments to meetings.  It’s easy! just emailvolunteer@nocobees.org.
