Annual Awards Banquet
February 22
For just $29 you can have an all inclusive (minus drinks) dinner with your fellow club members.  We still have some tickets available and they will be on sale at the next meeting.  They will not be available at the door so you must purchase them in advance. Please plan to purchase your ticket at the meeting so you won't miss out on this annual event.  The Dinner itself is on Monday February 22.
