Thanks Jim. The Staunton event is located pretty close by and is not until October; I've heard good things about this event from some of the group members. I'm hopeful that this one will happen and

Hi Jonathan. There certainly are some events that certain members traditionally attend either through taste or logistics. Ian Stewart regularly attends Staunton River along with a couple of other

Thanks Shawn. I've been looking over the list and I would be interested in attending one or more of these. Does the group do any organizing to attend these events? Maybe just a list of folks who

Greetings MERAL officers, presidents and AlCors, Please share this email with your club members: As the pandemic slowly comes under control, we are hoping to be able to hold in-person events later
