Post Holiday Party
Our club post-holiday party is scheduled! The date is January 25th, from 6 until 9 pm at Charlie's/Anazeh Sands on 28th Street. As we get closer, let us know if you can make it. The club will be providing appetizers. They have a full menu for those who would like to get more.
Hope to see you all there! We'll do a quick club officers election for members (let us know if you're interested in a position!), but otherwise no club business. Just talk about last year's adventures and this year's plans. Guests or newcomers are welcome!
