Meetings are the second Wednesday of each month at 11:30 a.m. With the remodeling of the Memorial Union on the Emporia State University Campus the Chapter meetings from January to June will be held at the Trusler Business Center. Food service is not available at this location, so attendees are encouraged to bring a brown bag lunch with them.
