Ladies and Gentlemen,

I remind everyone of our meeting at the American Village on Sat. Oct. 18. Please read the earlier post for details.

In addition, Michael Martin, Michael Araiza, Cade McCool, and Shane Lee agreed to serve a color guard for the Veteran's day dinner on Nov. 10 in Birmingham.
Gentlemen, I apologize I only have tickets for those actually taking part. The village only purchased one table, and there will be other staff sitting with us. You are welcome to purchase a septicket, but I cannot guarantee you will sit near us.

Ladies and Gentlemen,
Our next meeting will be Oct. 18 at the American Village. We will meet in the barn. There is no need to come in unform or other period clothing. We will discuss the upcoming year, and i will post an agenda shortly. The meeting will run from 9:00-4:00. although we will probably let out sooner. Lunch will be on your own, unless there is enough interest in a "pot luck" sort of affair.
