Currently, we have no scheduled speakers. Our meetings focus on fellowship, building membership, and discussion of where we can best help the local community on a smaller scale.  

RSVP isn't required but it is appreciated.  There is no mandatory meal but you can order off the menu at your own cost.  The venue is licensed so you can have your beverage of choice, but also at your own cost.
