The Sioux Valley Chapter of SD,
has decided to close. Our attendance has been very sparse and no one
has volunteered to step into leadership positions. We have strongly
encouraged everyone, via letter, to remain or become members of NCLA,
mentioning all the resources and benefits. People seem to be too busy
to attend meetings, but we really encourage them to remain connected to
NCLA and it's website. We have used the remaining money in our account
to pay for memberships of several churches, which should be arriving at
your headquarters within a week or two.
If
you need to contact anyone from our area, or there are church
libraries looking to start up and have questions, please feel free to
keep both Paula Goettsch and myself, Julie Ledeboer, as contacts for our
area.
