No, and this is a longstanding fight I have had. When we stopped voting at the Annual Meeting, I wanted to let guests in. I thought if they saw the awards, the friendship and the fun, they might want to join. But, so far, we keep it closed to members. There is a new challenge to our new board. Open the Annual Meeting. Are we afraid they might lean the secret handshake?
