Everett MeetingsEverett meetings were scheduled on the 3rd Monday of each month at the IHOP restaurant in Everett. Everett meetings were on hiatus for the summer months of June, July, August, and September. Everett chapter meetings are now on indefinite hiatus due to low attendance. If at some point in the future there is enough interest in starting up a north end chapter again, we can give it another try at that time. The last meeting for 2023 was on Monday, December 18, 2023.
