So in summary and important dates to remember:
* Nothing to really Highlight however the Holiday spread which included some of my Baby Back Garlic BBQ wet and dry ribs, Cinderella cheesecake, clams on the half shell, Baked Ziti, and etc. highlighted the evening before the meeting began. Clubs that had conflicts still to work out were notified however No Top Rod Club Rep was available...so we still need to work out our Mercer Lake conflict. Nothing really earth shattering as we're in the Winter Doldrums. LOL!!!
Any SJHT member is welcome to attend, meet up, or travel down with me to the monthly SJBCA meetings. The inner and outer workings is open to anyone interested in learning more about these meetings.
* Meeting was adjourned around 9:30 pmish
That's about it!!
