Welcome to 2022!

What a year! The club managed to meet throughout 2021by Zoom. We waived the membership fees for those that had paid in 2020. Some of you paid anyway, plus we got a few new members. Dues for 2022 are just $15. Many of the past members should have received the 2022 Membership Form. Use the 'Contact Form' (seen when looking at the blog from your computer) if you need one sent to you.

Tonight's Zoom is Randy Oliver on How Colonies Survive Cold Winters.

https:zoom.us has lots of easy to follow information about how to use Zoom.
