We’ve had to postpone the planned Annual General Meeting until later this year – so far we don’t have enough volunteers to fill our slate of executive positions. Instead we’re hosting a “40th Anniversary – Creating WTJHS’s Future” session. We’d like to fill you in more completely on what WTJHS is about, and what our volunteer executives actually do. Most importantly, we’d like your opinions, suggestions (and criticisms!) regarding where we are and where we should go from here. We look forward to diversifying our Junction stories and events with your participation in the WTJHS.
