Hello members,

We are looking for you to join or lead a committee, introduce new ideas, promote and encourage topics which members may have interest in. Is there a topic you are passionate about?


The Board has approved the organization of committees designed to promote and encourage membership feedback and participation. We are looking to fill out the 2025 calendar with exciting zoom meetings and sword show exhibits.


Let me know your interest (See committees below), by returning an email with a committee you may be most interested in.


Kindest regards,

Nick Kolick
