What to expect.....
During regular meetings, we start with a short business meeting, once everyone gets settled down. While the meeting time is scheduled for a 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 which could be on any number of topics from education, collecting, or other hobby-related interests. The program usually ends around 8, then we do our free drawings where members contribute to the "table". We typically have refreshments that members take turns bringing 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. |
