2/03/2024, the WLEC attends the Toledo Auto Show followed by Lunch and an Event Planning Meeting at the Spaghetti Warehouse, in downtown Toledo.

The Auto Show took place at the Glass City Center. It was well organized and well attended.

1/13/24 was a Snowy/Icy day so (for safety sake) we cancelled our Meeting in Monroe and met via the Google Meet (Zoom-like) conference application.

We had about 15 WLEC Members in attendance (many with cameras & mics, some without). We held our Meeting the same as we would have in person.

Our new Chapter Vice President, Tom Paisley (Welcome), put together a spreadsheet displaying a long list of possible events for us to choose from. Members are to followup by reviewing the event list and making their choices of favorites.
