The Minnesota Home Brewers Association is holding a board meeting at the Lyndale Avenue Bulldog at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 20. All members are invited to attend. (Note, please, that there will be no drinking during the actual meeting.) If you have ideas for the club or any issues you want to put on the table and you can't make it to the board meeting, send an e-mail to the secretary/treasurer at: Paul_Dienhart(a)cargill.com We will publish a report on the meeting in the December issue of the club's newsletter, The Boiler. Thanks, and don't forget the big potluck Christmas party at the Czech Hall above the Glockenspiel starting at 6 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 12. It's always a great time, and the free food and beer at this party alone easily cover the cost of membership. Laminated 2009 cards will be available at the Christmas party for those who want to rejoin or who already have paid through 2009. Paul Dienhart MHBA Treasurer
