Club meeting of November 10

The meeting was called to order by club president, Denny Liddle. Sign up sheets were passed around for upcoming club events. In addition Denny passed around Golf Outing, Reverse Raffle & Silent Auction, and Barbertonopoly committee sign up sheets. We have some fun volunteer opportunities in our events and ask each club member to sign up for one of the committees.
