Social Update
We It's about time for a happy hour and a hike! We will
plan on a February 11th happy hour and a March 12th hike.
There is a new sports bar in Mesa called Cactus Moon (dance floor,
pool tables, tvs). That might be a good place to have the next
happy hour. More details on both events to come.
Joe Zingale invited the group to go on a hike with him this
Sunday. If you are interested contact him for the details.
Board Update
Althea Bussert will come on to the board as a MABE historian.
To maintain the correct odd, count we will not need to have
elections.
We discussed possibly doing a small postcard marketing piece for
MABE. Since there was a majority interest, the board will
pursue it further. We will also make it a downloadable piece
that can be printed or forwarded on via email.
