Our last regular meeting was held on March 6, 2012, at the Benzie/Manistee Snowbirds clubhouse in Kaleva. Our next meeting will be held on April 3, 2012, at 7:00 p.m. The next director’s meeting will be April 17, 2012.
The clubhouse building is progressing. The electrical inspection is scheduled for this week. We will continue with the finishing of the interior walls after this inspection is complete. This has only been accomplished due to all the hard work of many club members. A big thanks to everyone that has given so generously of their time. A day for clean-up around the club grounds will be scheduled at the April meeting.
