Tom, I hadn't heard that Obama didn't actually make any beer. That's too
bad. Thanks for the update. John Personal. Professional.

John,
Is this membership for President Obama or whoever the current President is? I'm not
being political in any way and this may be a good jester but just to let you know that it
was reported that President Obama only purchased the beer brewing equipment. As far as my
research can verify or if anyone can correct me President Obama has not participated in
any brewing sessions or had any input on the recipes. It is the White House chefs and
cooking staff that are making the beer, not President Obama. And I do hope that who ever
the next president is will continue the white house beer brewing tradition. I just
wanted to make you aware of this and that I'm also fine with giving President Obama a
honorary membership and inviting him to a meeting. I would imagine that the secret
service would have to taste each different home brew before the President to make sure
it's not poisoned...

Thanks, Tom

Dipak, Great idea (as was the one that Al (?) floated
a
few weeks back--the one about giving the President an
honorary club membership)! I don't know that you need a
second. As with most things in the MHBA, just spearhead
the idea if you get a little buy-in. I doubt that Obama
will meet with us, but if he did, that would be pretty
cool! Not too many homebrew clubs can say that they
entertained a President. Unless there is opposition to
the idea, then please go ahead and see what it takes to
invite the President to a meeting (you could say that
there's going to be a meeting the day that he's in MN).
As I mentioned, when someone in the club proposes an
idea, the leadership says, "Great!--Make it so and let us
know what assistance you need." Thanks,
John Personal. Professional.

I am certain Obama will be making at least one pit stop
in the Cities before the election.�I propose we
send him an invitation to visit with us for tasting some
of our brews (and we in turn will get to taste the White
House brews that travel with him).� Wonder if
other brew clubs have extended such an
invitation.� Let's be the first!� Or, let's
not be the only one that didn't extend an
invitation.�Do we, as a club, need to vote on this
proposal?� If so, please consider this as a motion
put forth by me.� We need someone to second the
motion and then open up discussion prior to casting our
ballots.
So, do I hear a second??
