The first meeting for 2023 has been set up for March 13th.

Unfortunately the Tracy Gee community wanted us under new management and reservations for that year have become quite difficult as they are only taking reservations for a month or two at a time.

With that being said we are confirmed for March 13th only right now.

I was hoping the following meeting would be scheduled for June 12th but will have a wait a bit before that one is confirmed.

I am sending an email to everyone I have on my list so if you’re not getting email reminders from me, please let me know and I will add you to the list.

Hope to see everyone on March 13th.
