Please join us on Thursday, October 23, 2025 at 6 PM for a general membership meeting and Board elections. This is a members only meeting. While our club by-laws require that we do this, the main purpose of this meeting is to have as many members as possible tell the assembled group what they like, don't like, and most importantly, what directions  they would like the Club to take going forward. In the process we would all hope to have a good time and get  to know each other a little better Please bring one of your favorite Italian dishes or desserts to share that will serve 5 – 6 people. Beverages (beer, wine, and soft drinks) will be available. 

The meeting and dinner will be from 6 - 8PM.
