THIS MONTH’S MEETING<\/p>\n
It’s the most wonderful time of the year. It’s time for the annual BRC Dirty Santa game. Make plans to be with us this Sunday and participate in the fun. Wrap up a gift, something old, something new, something great, something goofy, something whatever and enjoy a fun time. If you just want to come for the music and fellowship (and FOOD this month) that works as well. We also have our ‘Free For All’. Do you have some vinyl you just want to give away? Bring it and let everyone pick through it. Hope to see you there.
