Our Dinner Meetings
Our Dinner MeetingsWe meet for dinner usually on the third Tuesday of months September through May. December, though, is dark. We feature speakers on a variety of topics, mostly on Revolutionary era people and events. But some cover other items of interest to our members. Please note that not all dinner meetings are on the third Tuesday: February (second Tuesday) and May (second Wednesday). We have booked the following dates so far in 2008: 15 January, 12 February, 18 March, 15 April and 14 May. All meetings will be held at
The meeting stars at 7 p.m. Coat and tie, with insignia, are suggested. The dinner choices will be country steak, roasted turkey or pot roast.
