Hi all
Mark your calendars - Sunday, Dec 4th club meeting will be a combined "Open Mic" potluck luncheon with Marana and Sunflower Veterans Clubs (DVR those football games) starting a 11AM. We will have "Open Mic" format for members to share a 5-minute or less story from their time in the military (tell your own anecdotal, funny or amusing story and avoid the blood and guts). Don't wait. Please email me if you plan to attend (I need a head count), AND if you want to share a story. First to email me, first to speak, etc. We will be rotating speakers between all 3 Veteran Clubs. Bring your favorite cold or hot "Potluck" appetizer, salad, meat dish or dessert to share with everyone. Bring your own drink or bottled water is provided.
Wednesday, Dec 7th Veterans "Meet & Greet" happy hour at the Views, 3:30PM.
