Grapevine – July 7, 2020
Note about meeting venue: The Club will continue meeting in-person at the Holiday Inn along with an option to join via Zoom, through the end of August. Continuing to offer the electronic option will be re-evaluated at that time. The Holiday Inn is committed to providing appropriate social distancing at tables and a plated meal that will be served to members as opposed to a buffet. Please check your email for the link in order to connect online.
