The Hibernation Party is just around the corner
February 20 to be exact and we hope you will come out in large numbers to help make it a huge success again this year! Cocktail hour begins at 6 pm - a good time to mingle with fellow members and peruse the raffle table - with dinner served at 7.  The Annual General Meeting formalities will begin towards the end of the meal and include elections and the announcement of this year's club award winners - did you take the time to nominate some deserving club member? After the meeting wraps up we'll draw a first round of raffle tickets before the band "Lucy's Jets" rocks the house with tunes that are sure to get you up and dancing.  We've extended the deadline - Be sure to get your dinner reservation form and payment to us by February 12, 2010!  Full details can be found here pdf
