Association Meetings

The membership of the Association meets twice a year, in June and August. On occasion the Board of Directors will call a special meeting when the need arises.

The June meeting is most often held on the Sunday after Father’s Day and is preceded by a Pot Luck Social Hour which usually begins at 4:00pm.

The August meeting is also held on a Sunday in the latter half of August and lately has been preceded by an Ice Cream Social starting at 4:00pm. The location and dates of these meetings can change and is set each spring by the Board. Visit our Upcoming Events page for the latest information on these meetings.

Often we have a featured speaker from outside the CPA to address some current pond specific issue or other topic of interest to our members. Again, watch our Upcoming Events page for any such information about the meetings.
