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 all these dinner meetings are on the third Tuesday. We have booked the following dates for the rest of 2009: 15 September, 20 October, 17 November and 19 January. 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. All dinners will include Ceasar salad, cornbread and fountain drinks, tea and coffee. Also everyone gets to choose a slice of apple, chocolate cream or lemon meringue pie.

The picnic is at the Huntington Beach Central Park neighboring the Library. After the picnic you might want to examine the great genealogical holdings in the Library.
