President’s Message – June 2013

MASHers,

Next Saturday, June 22nd, we will be gathering for our Summer Solstice Party. This year, the party will be hosted by Matt and Marie Waldron. Their home is located in the Roads area of Miami at: 1510 SW 13th Street. The fun begins at 1:00 pm.

The SSP is traditionally a put luck event. Please respond to this communication to confirm you’re attendance and let us know what you plan to bring. We’ll need a headcount to make sure we have enough chairs, tables, etc.

This year, the club will be providing burgers, hot dogs, sausage, etc. I will be breaking out the “tailgate barbecue” and chef Bob Billany has volunteered to man the grill.

We will also be tapping the three kegs of homebrew from last month’s Big Brew Day:

– Belgian Bonde

– English Dark Mild

– Brown Porter

Sandwiched among the gaiety, we will squeeze in a brief business meeting.  And don’t forget this month’s BOTY category is Specialty Beers. I expect that we will continue to be surprised and amazed by the creativity and talents of our brewing brothers and sisters.

Let’s use this event as a recruiting tool to build the ranks of our club. Got a friend that is interested in homebrewing? Bring him/her along! The SSP is a fantastic, informal venue to let aspiring homebrewers know what MASH is all about.

I hope to see you all!

Cheers!

Dave
