What to expect.....
During regular meetings, we have a short period for business, once everyone gets settled down. While the time is schedule is 7 pm start, we might start a few minutes late while members are busy showing off their finds since they last met. Next is a program and could be any number of things on education, collecting, and other hobby related interest. All this usually ends around 8 before or take and then we do our free drawings where members contribute to the "table" and start eating snacks that members take turns bring in as well. We are all cleaned up and out of the building by 9 pm. Members, If you need information on dates for picnic or Christmas Party, or even what the program is for that month, or any other questions you may have... contact an officer. Officers are on the front of the newsletter or you can respond to one of the club emails. |
