Remember last September, when Hurricane Irma came to
visit? Well there are no hurricanes to worry about, at least
for now. So come join us for our next club meeting.
In our next meeting, you will have another chance to test
your abilities with your detector. We will have various
targets for you to identify. The member with the most
correct will win a prize. So don’t forget your detector!
We will also be watching more of the Tom Dankowski video.
If you’ve been at the previous two meetings, you can attest
to how knowledgeable Tom is. His video is worth watching
many times over.
As always, there will be a 50/50 drawing, some yummy
snacks, and a good time talking with fellow members.
We’ll see you there!
