  • Weather Update: December Meeting CANCELLED

    *** WEATHER UPDATE *** 

    NOVAC’s Board of Trustees has decided to cancel tonight’s general meeting in the interest of safety; the weather is just too uncertain for us to feel comfortable asking members to come out to GMU this evening. We’ll hold elections for NOVAC officers and trustees in January. The equipment show-and-tell scheduled this evening will be held at another meeting instead. Stay safe (and warm)!
