Upcoming Events
|
| April 19, 2010: April Dinner Meeting. This year, dinner will begin at 6:00 pm. At 7:30, Peter McKay, nationally syndicated humor columnist, will give a presentation. Peter began writing a humor column on "life in the new millenium" for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette in 1999. Recently, he also has been writing television and film scripts. His presentation should be a lot of fun! NOTE: It is possible that we might break with tradition this year and cater the dinner so members would only have to bring desserts. Stay tuned for more details. In addition, there are plans to raffle a rain barrel (maybe 2) with free installation at the Dinner Meeting. And, if that is not enough, it is also possible that nectar of grapes will be served! Sooooo, write our Dinner Meeting on your calendar and invite all your friends to join us! Be sure to see the newsletter for more details. |
