At the business meeting, membership approves the prior year's Minutes, a new Slate of Board Members, the Treasurer's Report, and any other business that might be before the organization, e.g., changes to Bylaws. An overview of the year's programming and events for the year is also provided in addition to other activities, e.g. blacksmithing demonstration, lecture(s), exhibit(s), tours, etc.
