| SWC December Meeting - Friday, Dec. 14, 2018Our Friday, December 14th meeting will be held at the home of Wor. Andrew Brennan, 219 Glenbrook Road No., Wayzata, MN 55391, with a dinner and afterglow to follow. Please RSVP to the Secretary, by clicking here. We plan a quick installation of officers in a no-fuss ceremony. This is a terrific location for our year-end meeting, and we again look forward to a fine celebration again this year. Thanks to WB Brennan for stepping up. This too, will be our final Stated meeting of the year. The normal schedule will apply; social gathering at 6 (really, at 5:30), with the meeting and installation starting at 7:00. Minutes, a summons and the agenda will be distributed electronically.
We always close the December meeting with friendly conversation, the scent of cinamon and allspice, and lilting English carols around the fire... Nice. And we look forward to philosophical discussions informally around the firepit:
There will be no LEO presentation, due to installation and holiday socializing...
