Friday, Oct. 1st Meeting

Members are welcome to join us at 7:00 pm on Friday, Oct. 1st for our first in-person gathering since the pandemic began. We will return to St. James Lutheran Church in Limerick. There is no presenter scheduled, but there will be hotdogs and Ed K3BVQ’s famous beans!
As always, if you have a build-and-tell item please bring it to show off.

Montgomery County is listed as a high transmission county for the Delta variant — case counts continue to grow. The church follows state and CDC guidance for COVID-19, and the CDC now recommends that everyone mask up when indoors. So please wear a mask to keep yourself and others safe! The club will have masks available at the door if you need one.
