November Meeting Tonight

Posted on November 12, 2013 by admin
Our regular monthly club meeting will take place tonight at the Wake County Extension Building on Carya Drive – our usual meeting place, now available post-election season.  Tom Underhill will demonstrate lip balm making and provide samples.  We also have 2 NCSU – E KY basketball tickets (with parking pass!) for the Nov 30 game as a raffle, thanks to club VP Ken Cobb.
The social starts at 7 p.m., followed by the club meeting and program at 7:30 p.m.
Also, we have 2 people signed up to bring snacks tonight, but if one more person could step up & help out, that would be great!  Remember, the club will reinburse you.
Thank you so much – hope to see you there!
