Thanks to everyone who joined us at Campfire Brewing! Fantastic night!


Highlights

 Beer for Boobs – Oct 25 @ Thunderwing – COMING UP THIS SATURDAY
We still need judges and stewards! We currently have several BJCP certified judges – and we can easily pair you with one of them.  Great opportunity to learn more about beer!     Free lunch + volunteer points.  We also need volunteers for check-in Thursday night.
Proceeds support Breast Cancer Awareness.  To judge and enter, please contact Scott Elliot via the event website.

 Learn to Homebrew Day – POSTPONED
We know there is a lot going on right now – we are holding off on Learn to Homebrew Day, but we will have this event at a later date – stay tuned!

 Don’t forget our NEW Volunteer of the Year Award!
Earn points for club-related volunteer activities (judging, stewarding, setup, giving a talk at monthly meetings, educational presentation, etc.).
