Wednesday  February 10th    February Business Meeting atAlbany German American Club

Don’t even consider trying to sell this as your Valentine’s Day date!  Socializing starts at 6:30, dinner starts at 7:00 with an all you can eat $15 buffet and the business meeting following.  As always, first time attendees do not have to pay!  For those not familiar with our protocol, we have a veeeery laid back business meeting which involves more laughter then making and seconding motions.  Bring someone you love and be amused!
