In addition, minutes and agendas are sent via E-mail to OPA County Directors and WoRC Directors. SPAAC members will generally receive hard copy mailings due to attachments needing to be sent. However, some information may be sent via e-mail to members. If you are one of the members who have not provided an e-mail address to Carol Carpenter, please do so as soon as possible. Any data changes should also be given to Carol.
