ANNOUNCEMENTS:
There is a possibility that we may be charged to use Pine Bush High School for our Pancake Breakfast and may not be able to use the propane gas grills inside the building.  (Even with the actual propane tank outside.)  The school board is meeting later this month and we will see what they decide.  Based on their decision we will decide whether or not we need to investigate other locations.


SPEAKER(S):
