Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls you've got to go to the meeting with curls. Curls you ask - now what truly are these? Curls you will see when lifting new club glasses with glee. We have a very exciting meeting planned with events sure to please. Forget ye not the great feast waiting for thee. When you arrive please check in at the table to your left. We check your club status and give you a free gift. The gift is a new glass, clean and ready to use. A 10 ounce with etched logo - we hope you to please. You also get a number for some very special gifts. Spare glasses can be purchased for a very fine price. Move to the table where Jonathan sits. He has some nice items that are giving him fits. These items were purchased to help out his club. His club doors closed quickly but he still had some stuff. Help him if you can and restore his Christmas cheer. While you wander over there, please try a fresh beer. Armed with glasses and numbers, please move toward Curt Stock. Curt has a fancy demo - if you miss it - you'll feel shot. Curt is showing off his fancy CP device. This is the same device used to win many things nice. Around 7 it is thought that the feast will be ready. Please line up without pushing and take small portions. Plates and forks and knives will be plastic. If you have specialty items, please bring them in warm jackets. Crock pots and ovens will all be in use. If you have something needing baking, the kitchen is for youse. Door prizes will be given through out the evening. The more things you donate, the more we are giving. This most special event occurs only one time per year. Please join us tomorrow for some royal holiday cheer. Usually I write with a technical style but for Christmas and homebrew, the heck with it. Last but not least, let's reflect on what matters. Volunteers are needed to clean up the mess. Volunteers are also needed to help with the club. During a year like this one, our club has been great - events for each and almost any one. New events are now actively clicking within your minds. Turn these thoughts into events. All we need to do is to come up with 12 great things. More things are great so we need your ideas. Please write them down on the sheets of paper. Turn them in and sign them and share them with all. We look forward to the next year and we need your help. Please help to ensure we can satisfy your thirst. Brewers are interesting but brewers are few. Brewers like us are very interesting too. Think for a bit and think very hard. Please help your club by filling out the card. See you on Friday but I do not know when. If you get there too early, we can't even get in. Get there too late and your fate is sealed. We are sure however you will not go to the store. Writing like this is very slow but fun. See you on Friday. Please don't forget those nice buns! Merry Christmas Rick Oftel MHBA Prez
