Grapevine – May 27, 2020
Note about meeting venue: This week the Club will resume in-person meetings at the Holiday Inn.

They also need a headcount so please let Steve Truax know if you plan to attend. There may be an opportunity for those not attending at the Holiday Inn to participate electronically.
