Calendar/Activities

This page is to help members keep track of all CTTOM meeting dates and other CTTOM activities.

General Membership Meetings: These meetings, to which all CTTOM members are encouraged to attend, are the second Saturday of the month, at 1:30 PM, at the Museum. However, due to the recent construction at CTTOM, meeting in person will resume around January. and will meet online through our CTTOM Zoom. Each member will get an announcement of the meeting agenda and also the Zoom sign-in through e-mail. It’s a good idea to check Zoom before the meeting to make sure you have the updated version. It usually updates automatically when you check into it, but it takes a minute or two.

Board Meetings: The Board meets the Thursday before the General Meeting at 7:30 PM. This meeting is on-line, through Zoom. If any member wishes to join-in, please email or call Charles so he can send you a sign-in code for Zoom.
