Given the potential for another snow day tomorrow due to the cold weather, just a reminder to everyone that our Club still meets, even if schools are closed. Obviously, still exercise caution and don't endanger yourself just to make it to a meeting if conditions are unsafe. Stay warm, travel safe and see you tomorrow!
