Our next meeting will be November 10th at Baron's Inn in Greene , NY starting at 11:30 or 12 noon for our Thanksgiving and Christmas Party. 

    We need to get a count of 35 people total to keep our price per meal down.  It will be a buffet type luncheon same as last year.   The price is set to $10.95 per meal; drinks are extra.  So bring your wife, significant other, and friends and let's get our count up as much as possible to meet our goal of 35 people or more.  So mark your calendars in advance and save this special day at Baron's.  There will be a red rose for every lady.

    Our October meeting took place at Sidney Airport for a pancake breakfast it was a fly in and drive in type of occasion.  The weather was less than desirable for flying in; it was a very low ceiling and foggy conditions.  Matt Garbett was one of the chefs and from what I heard he made splendid pancakes.
