FALL POT LUCK AND ANNUAL MEETING

Tthank you to all who attended the Annual Meeting/Pot Luck. It was a wonderful night with more than 80 members in attendance. The food was, as always, amazing and it is so much fun to get together with everyone. The business side was exciting as well with a special award being given to Buzz Harcus in appreciation of his 15 years of editing the Scuttlebutt. There were also reports from the Executive Director and many of the Committee Chairs talking about a great past year and even more excitement on the horizon! Look for a more detailed report in the December Scuttlebutt.

RESTORATION SHOP
The work continues in building #1, home of our new MHA Restoration Shop Youth Mentoring Program. Rod Jones and crew have been getting the walls up and preparing the building for electrical and plumbing work to follow. Read MORE in SCUTTLEBUTT.
