Meetings
are held twice a month from October through April.
Program
Meetings: We gather at 7:00 pm on the first Tuesday of each month in
the Community Room of Wildware Backcountry, 995 Peiffer's Lane,
Harrisburg, Pa. 17109 (717-564-8008). Afterwards we generally visit the
nearby Your Place for snacks and a brew.
Dinner Socials: We usually meet
at 7:00 pm on
the Wednesday fifteen days after the program meeting. We eat, gab and do a
little informal business at these affairs. It's a nice time to get to
know each other a little better.
Members are asked to PLEASE avoid parking in the small lot that serves
Wildware. There is parking at the top and to the right of the
drive leading to the store. There is also a parking lot
behind the Wildware store. It is reached by turning at
Sunnycrest from Peiffer's Lane.
