This looks like a good one. My guys in Ring 35 Birmingham will be jealous.

Enjoy!

We've unexpectedly (and happily) reached our max seating for the 2009 Banquet on Jan 10th and must, reluctantly close sales. With this lesson learned, we'll aim at a larger locale next year. With a more-than-full house we are expecting a delicious meal shared in brotherhood and a truly great evening. Our thanks to all who supported our desire to move in this new direction!

Tickets for Dr. Charles Pecor's midday lecture are still available at $5.00 for Ring members and $10.00 for nonmembers. Please let me know if you are interested.

Skip, I hope you and yours have a great time.

All the best for 2009.

Dave
