Did you submit a survey at the May Meeting?

Joyce wants to make sure that each and every one of you get your input on guild activities.

If you missed turning one in, or you thought of more things to say… just use this PDF: Survey Form

The PDF is a ‘form; you can type into the fields.  But it won’t let you save it — only  print .  It still might be better than handwriting for some 🙂

For those with Microsoft Office, here’s a “.doc” that you can save: Star Survey Sheet

When you’ve finished, please return your survey to Joyce Noell.
