We braved the frigid January cold to experience our first meeting in a new location after 30+ years at the Hampton/Best Western Inn. Our Shore 96 hosts were there to greet us with a big welcome and good breakfast. It worked well for this first meeting to be a club assembly so that we could get a chance to work out any kinks before resuming regular meetings with outside speakers. Not that there were many kinks to be worked! Kent and Jerry prepared a few slides so that we could test out the AV equipment, which works well, while reviewing some important areas of club business, such as the impact of the venue change on our club finances. Secretary Paul kicked off the meeting in style with some of that homespun wisdom we've come to expect from him. The one that stuck with me was "Everytime you clean something, you make something else dirty." So true!
