Mark your calendar for Thursday January 12th when we will meet at our new location Greenwood Methodist Church at 10040 Greenwood Road in Northside Glen Allen. There is plenty of parking so plan to join us. I don’t know what the topic will be yet but I’m sure we will all learn something from our fellow beekeepers. Meeting starts at 7:00 pm.
It is time to get in the holiday spirit. Our annual Holiday Party will be held on Thursday December 8th from 7:00 – 9:00 at Kelly O’Toole’s house (see address below). There will be no meeting this month. Please feel free to bring a side dish to share. Chicken, drinks, and paper products will be provided. Please email Kelly if you plan to attend so she can have a “head-count.” Hope to see you there!
