Change of Venue
Last week President Warren announced that as of January 5th, our new meeting location will be Charlie's on the Lake.  Biaggi's has been a wonderful partner and we appreciate them so much.  As our club has had much success in growing our membership, we are out of room at Biaggi's.  We will meet at Biaggi's on the 8th and 15th and encourage you to show your appreciation and support to the Biaggi's staff which has taken such good care of us.

Proposed Bylaw Changes
On Friday, January 13th at the Annual Club Assembly, the members will be voting on proposed changes to the Bylaws. The changes mostly affect our Presidential nomination process adding an extra year of service to that role by nominating the person a year earlier. It is our hope this helps our club plan further into the future. Please read these and be ready to vote on January 13th.  It is a vote of those present at the meeting so please plan on attending.  CLICK HERE TO READ THE PROPOSED BYLAW CHANGES.
