Wikimedia News no. 70 - February 20, 2014
Members' Meeting: the date is set
It is again time for the members of Wikimedia Italia to come together! The event is scheduled for Saturday, April 5, in Florence at The Hub.
It is particularly important to participate in this assembly, given the weight that the items on the agenda will have on the future of Wikimedia Italia: the participants will renew part of the Board, approve the budgets, screen the positions of members who do not comply with the fee payments ( all those members whose membership has expired in December 2012 will be considered forfeited). We invite you to regularize as soon as possible your membership status by paying the annual membership fee, in order to participate actively in the meeting: as usual, only members in good standing with the payment may vote.
