General announcements
Suggestion for our 8/21 post-Pennsic meeting – we start a new post-Pennsic Boast tradition and tell the barony of something that made Pennsic magical for you.
Our temporary meeting site for the summer (at least) is Ss. Robert and William Catholic Parish, at 367 E. 260th St., Euclid. Go to the school, not the church. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. A brief business meeting is held at 8 p.m. We need to vacate the site between 9:30 and 10 p.m.
