December Meeting with VENUE CHANGE
This is a friendly reminder that this Monday, December 14th, we will be holding our special club Holiday Meeting. This is a more informal celebration than our normal meetings and we welcome all of you to come share it with us. At the center of the event will be a variety of hand-selected Trappist ales purchased by the club for everyone to enjoy. In addition, there will be some appetizers including crackers / bread, pate, mushroom pate, meatballs and a couple other fine (hopefully Belgian) delicacies. If you would like to bring additional beverages and food, please feel free.
Unfortunately, we do have a last minute VENUE CHANGE for this meeting. Sue Hartman will be hosting our meeting at her home on Douglas Ave., just outside of downtown Kalamazoo. Carpooling is encouraged to try to limit the amount of parking needed. We are sorry for any inconvience and the short notice. Sue's address and a map can be found below:
