Bring:
* a ruler
* a watch (NOTHING with "memory" allowed - iPhones, Blackberrys, etc.)
* a calculator (again, nothing with "memory")
* at least 4 mechanical pencils
* an eraser
* a bionic hand (just kidding, but PRACTICE writing tests between now and Sunday so your hand is in shape for 3 hours of solid writing!)
After the exam we'll have a "debriefing" (beers and lunch) at Granite City in St.Louis Park:

We have new laminated cards for 2010 - quite distinctive with a large
yellow band filled by "MHBA." If you were a 2009 member prior to
mid-November, there will be a card with your name printed on it. We
will be notifying the homebrew shops shortly after the New Year to
please check for 2010 cards before giving the 10 percent club discount.
Membership remains at $15. You can pay via PayPal at the club Website:
http://www.mnbrewers.com/mhbadues.php
Or you can send a check made out to MHBA to me at:

About 30 people renewed at the Xmas party last Friday. I've mailed new
cards to about 20 others who already paid for 2010 membership. We had
almost 250 members in 2009, so I think there are still a lot of folks
who need cards.
Thanks,
Paul
My thanks to officers Chris Smith and Mike Behrendt, and to all the club members who put on Friday's Christmas potluck! As usual, it was one of the highlights of the year.
Thanks again,
John
