<p>Makes me think of the guy in Life of Brian who's always interjecting "or she!" when the People's Liberation Party (or whatever) is writing their bylaws.<br>

<p style="margin-bottom:.25in">Dear Poets and Muses:<br>
<br>
I'm happy to announce that our first meeting of the new year will be at Funkwerks on January 7th.<br>
<br>
<b>Since this is the first meeting of the year, membership dues are due!</b> Jesse McConnell, our esteemed Treasurer, will be taking your money at January's meeting. Yearly dues are as follows:<br>
<br>
o Single membership: $25 ($15 after July 1) for an individual adult<br>
<br>
o Couple membership: $30 ($20 after July 1) for two adults in the same household<br>
<br>
I have attached the membership application; please print out the second page, fill it out, and bring it with you to the meeting. This application/waiver is how your name will get onto (or stay on) the e-mail list, as
<b>we are refresh the list at the beginning of each year</b>.<br>
<br>
Here is our regular meeting agenda:<br>
<br>
<b>Beer Social:</b> For the first half hour of the meeting we hang out, meet, and greet old friends and new members alike. Try other’s homebrew and have others try yours. Essentially geek out about our hobby for a bit. New members, keep an eye out for the Board
members who will be introduced during the announcements; any of them will be happy to introduce you around! And don’t forget, this is a club of homebrewers and homebrewers homebrew, so please bring in your homemade fermented beverages to share!<br>
<br>
<b>Tasting Panel:</b> This is a small break-out group that gives each other direct feedback on the homebrew you bring. It will be run by an experienced, long-time member of the club. This group is more in-depth and direct than our beer social portion of the
evening, but still not as formal as other break-out groups. If you’d like to get and/or give direct feedback on homebrew, this is the group for you. If you have homebrew with a defect, bring it here! This is an excellent opportunity to learn about defects,
to experience them, and to learn how to avoid them in the future.<br>
<br>
<b>Style of the Month:</b> <span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">
One of our most popular groups, this group reviews a different BJCP subcategory every month. In this group, you’ll go over the category, drink some commercial examples, and compare them with the guidelines. Then repeat with beer brewed by club members! If you’re
interested in how BJCP judging works, this is an excellent group to get involved with.<br>
<br>
</span>While I haven't really worked out the style of the month list for the year yet, let's go with Stout as the January Style of the Month. That will be any Category 13 beers. If you happen to have a homebrewed stout, please bring it and join the Style
of the Month panel. I'll also make sure we have a couple of tasty commercial examples to enjoy as well.<br>
<br>
I hope everyone had a great Holiday season and hope to see many of you in a few days!<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
Alex<br>
