Program: “Show and Tell”

The Holiday season is around the corner. That means that we will be discussing a venue for a Christmas Party, if there is enough interest. It is notable that The Hungry Woodsman, where last year’s party was held, is now closed. Put on your thinking caps and see if you can come up with a suggestion.

DON’T FORGET: NOVEMBER MEETING IS SHOW AND TELL……..
