Two of our most experienced members, Pete Dawson and Phil Cooper hosted a club history trivia lunch this past Friday. The grand prize was some home grown lettuce.
The history of various club events, including how the club was founded in 1986 were all part of the trivia. Since we have many new members it was a great way to talk about the history of the club, many of our most successful projects as well as a few small mis-steps.
Definitely a fun, entertaining meeting and great way bring the club together and talk about our shared history.
