Hi Desitinee,
We are going to try and hold a "drive-in" annual meeting hopefully at the
Sauk County Fairgrounds. They have a sound system already installed
throughout the fairgrounds for public announcements. We usually have a
banquet so hoping to get a caterer to make boxed picnic dinners that people
can eat in their cars. We are going to literally vote by honking (it's the
same as saying "aye" after all) If all goes well we hope to get a large
screen to show a presentation on.
