New Business
The meeting location at Jose O’shea’s will continue to be used for the remaining Winter meetings (February thru March) on the second Saturday of the month at 11:00 am, however, it is likely Jose’s will be too busy on Friday nights to serve as the meeting location for April thru October. Any ideas for a Spring/Summer location would be greatly appreciated.
