| Beer & Wine Tasting O.H. Planning Meeting

 Thursday Nov. 19th at 7:30 pm Melissa will be running a Beer & Wine Tasting Open House planning meeting at her place.
Pass the word, OUT OF CONTROL PARTY AT MELISSA'S PLACE!!!
(No dancing on the table this time Jarid, our insurance won't cover injuries from falls over three feet.) Seriously though, the purpose of this event is to recruit more new members. With everyone's help and a little elbow grease we can get this project up and running before the end of the year. We'll need help with the logistics, supplies location etc, and we'll need help getting a crowd of prospective new members to attend and sign up for membership. Contact Melissa for details at 203-673-9917
