<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14pt;"></span></p><p> <span style="font-size:14pt;">John has
graciously agreed to
host again, and he will be providing the burgers for the grill.
I’ll be
bringing the plates, napkins and cutlery. All we need now is
salads, side dishes, drinks and
desserts (and maybe some chips)!</span></p><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14pt;"></span></p><p> <span style="font-size:14pt;">We hope to have
some new
people joining us as well as some old friends coming back, so
please let me
know if you are coming. We’d like to have a fairly good
head-count for the
burgers and buns. A private message is fine.</span></p><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14pt;"></span></p><p> <span style="font-size:14pt;">We’ll also have
a business
meeting to vote on officers for the new year as well as discuss
our tentative
calendar for the fall.</span></p><p></p>
