Notice to Membership:
The December 2 Christmas Luncheon and Basket Raffle has been cancelled due to the weather forecast and the lack of rescheduling options from the caterer. We will plan to have the Basket Raffle at the January 6 general meeting at the Dmascus AmericanLegion. The Board will meet to decide how to handle the luncheon fees and will share that information as soon as possible. Better to err on the side if caution for everyones safety.
