Meetings in December and January Combined
We usually do not hold a meeting in December and the January meeting would have been the day after we return from the Savannah bus trip. It was decided to cancel both meetings and hold a brief meeting on January First after the group walk of the Downtown/ Old Salem Year Round Event.
