We originally met at the Hamilton House Restaurant on Terry Lane but had to move our meetings in 1999 when the Hamilton House closed.  Since that time we have met at the Wild River Public House.

 

There are many wonderful memories over the past years.  Who remembers calling BINGO numbers at Boatnik, or helping give vaccinations to children at the Kid's Care Fairs, or suffering through Adopt-a-Highway projects without our beloved grabbers.  Remember Bob Chalupa's Presidential induction ceremony where we all were introduced to haggis?  Or Steve Roe's ceremony where we were greeted with the roars of Harley-Davidson motorcycles as they rumbled through our meeting.  There are many other memories like these that our long-time members could share that would bring a smile to your face.  If you get a chance, ask one of the original members to share a story with you.
