Regular Meetings

Regular Meetings of the Board, unless otherwise scheduled, are held the first Wednesday of each month at 5 pm. All Member Meeting/Public Meetings held at Moebius Nature Center, off Mennonite Road in Aurora, on the Third Wednesday of the Month. Meeting begins at 5 pm.

Public Meetings

Public Meetings are arranged periodically to present programs on local study topics that inform members as well as the public.

Research Meetings

Research Meetings are held with a small group of members to discuss one of the current League topics. Some members who have researched the topic supply the background material. Discussion follows, with each person free to voice his or her opinions. These may change during discussions.

Consensus Meetings

If this is a subject upon which a position is to be taken, a consensus meeting will be held with all members. The research committee will present study information, questions will be asked and the group will arrive at a CONSENSUS which will be recorded to develop the position. After adoption, the League may take action.

It is in working on a research committee that one really becomes involved, becoming well versed on all areas the League covers.
