Member involvement in last Thursday’s E2Tech Annual Meeting exceeded the prior record by 1%. It’s a small number, but 1% does make a difference, and we are extremely grateful to Preti Flaherty for hosting us with shrimp, lobster rolls, and other delicious food. Those who were unable to come missed out on a special evening looking out over the harbor.
