[Wikimedia-DC] [WikiDC][Reminder] Election of the Board of Directors of the Wiki Society of Washington, DC Inc.

[aude]

Reminder that we're seeking candidates for Wikimedia DC's Board of
Directors.  Submissions are open through Saturday, September 24 at 11:59pm.


The elections take place on Saturday, October 1 at our Annual Membership
Meeting at the Tenley-Friendship Neighborhood Library.  We encourage
everyone to attend.

Serving as a board member is a rewarding opportunity to help out the new
chapter and have a leadership role as we grow our capacity.  (FYI : you can
attend board meetings via conference call, if necessary)

Hope to see you on October 1!

Cheers,
Katie

PS - Google Maps has an incorrect address (the former interim branch) for
the Tenley Library.  The correct address is 4450 Wisconsin Ave NW, next to
the Best Buy and Tenleytown Metro entrance.
