I am feeling much better after my recent illness prevented me from attending the most recent meeting. I wish to thank club members Carlie and Brad for running the meeting.
I just updated the calendar, we have an Estes auction on March 16th, a meet in Pittsburgh on April 28th and a club meeting on April 17th. Also remember the fabulous Kutztown show is in May.
A venue and an agenda for the April meeting will be forthcoming. Stay tuned.
