<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I just wanted to announce the date and time of our KBS Business Meeting—please join us, as this is a meeting to discuss business of interest to all those in the Society. There is no cost, and it’s via zoom,
so feel free to jump into the Parlor & throw your oar in the water!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">We are also going to be holding elections for officers for the society, and so anyone interested in election to office should definitely attend—if you are unable to make it, but interested in becoming an officer
of the KB Society, then please email me to indicate your interest, and we will include you on the ballot!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The meeting will be held July 8, 2021, at 1pm EST, and the invitation is below. Let me know if you have any questions. As of this meeting, I will no longer be President of the KBS, and will be passing the
honor over to Dave Blakesley. It has been an honor to serve, especially during such trying times, and I look forward to being part of our continuing conversations about how best to celebrate, engage, and promote Burke’s work!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
