It’s a major goal of the club’s Board of Directors and Officers to increase the club member (and guest!) turnout @ the monthly meetings. To that end….we’ve scheduled a Board Meeting prior to the general membership meeting @ 8:00. I’ve arranged a series of speakers and presenters with the goal of enhancing our knowlege and enjoyment of this sport that means so much to each of us. Here’s what I have thus far, please contact me with imput or suggestions for future meeting topics!
