ANNOUNCEMENTS
  • This is our sixth time having a virtual meeting. We'll continue with virtual meetings until we can have an in-person meeting. If you have ideas for an alternative location we could meet while still socially distance, let Ryan know.
EVENTS
  • Online/Virtual Hoppy Hour reminder every Thursday. Occasional trivia! Continuing through at least December. Ask if you’re having issues getting in.
  • Members discussed postponing the Holiday Party, which is scheduled for Dec. 5. The W has said what we’ve already paid could be applied to next year’s date. Ryan will make a post on the forum to gather feedback, but the general consensus was to not have the event this year.
25TH ANNIVERSARY
  • Following a club vote, it's been decided to postpone Brewfest XXV to September 2021. An exact date will be announced soon. Even though we can't gather in person, we still want to celebrate! Ryan has started a forum thread to discuss ideas: https://lawrencebrewers.org/lbgforum/vi ... =21&t=4589
