1) Get your 2016 club dues to Don.  They are $25 for individuals and $40 for families.

 

2) Let Joe (joenlisa@okeefe.net) or Jeff (jeffade@mac.com) know if you want to help with planning for Club Night at the National Homebrewers Conference.  We will do the watermen theme that we did at the Guild holiday party.  Club Night will be Friday; we’ll have all day to set up and can clean up Friday late or Saturday morning.  All Maryland clubs will be put in the same area (we hope).  We should form an NHC committee to discuss what we need to do for setting up the club table, get a tally of how many kegs/bottles we’re bringing, etc.

 

3) There is interest in doing a road trip to Philly on March 5 to hit pubs and drop off National Homebrew Contest entries.  If you’d like to go, or have your entries dropped off, contact Joe at joenlisa@okeefe.net
