Prior to the meeting, we will have our usual club activities. The shack will open by 5:30 p.m. and be available for use. Starting at 6:30 p.m., some of our members will be available in the EOC for “Elmer’s Table” assistance. Bring your equipment, questions, and inquisitive spirit and stop by the Elmer’s table for some advice. We will also have our usual swap meet table, 50/50 drawing, and snacks!
