Members,
Join us for our annual, year-end, holiday get-together on Saturday, December 1 from 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm at Shakey’s in Redlands.  Pizza, potatoes and chicken will be provided by the club; salads and beverages are self-purchased.  There will be a Secret Santa gift exchange starting at 3:45 pm.  Bring a wrapped gift between $15-$25 for the exchange if you wish to participate.

“Building and Restoring Scopes” will be the November meeting’s program presented by our president Jamie Countryman.  The November is on Saturday the 3rd, 7:00pm at the First Christian Church in San Bernardino.

The weather is going to be most foul at Oak Glen on Saturday evening, with clouds, rain and temps below 50 degrees, according to the National Weather Service forecast, so it’s been decided to cancel the outreach at Oak Glen.
