Thinking of attending tonight’s annual meeting, but having second thoughts because of the heat? We got you covered with a new air conditioner. You may not get cold, but we hope you will be comfortable as we celebrate the student essay contest winners and listen to Roger Desrosiers as he talks about the Declaration of Independence. See you at 7pm. The tavern will be open at 6pm for tours.
