Petition Drop-off

In lieu of a regular general membership meeting on Thursday, June 23rd you may turn in your completed petitions at Sefarer’s, 123 East 15th Street.  Remember not to complete the witness portion, as we will do that together, to ensure that errors which may invalidate the petition are not made.
