Annual
General
Membership
meeting

The meeting and brunch (or lunch) will be held at
the Horseshoe Pub and Restaurant in Hudson MA at 1:00pm

We will have a private room for our meeting.

Instead of a guest speaker, this year we plan to have the members themselves get up and say a few words about their Met experiences!

Chuck and Nancy Gould have dined there before and give it a "thumbs up".

Our previous venue, Rom's Restaurant in Sturbridge, has closed after 56 years. Hudson, MA is located and reachable within a reasonable driving radius for our members.

Of special note: With consideration of the economy, we have an arrangement with the owner of the restaurant to allow separate bills for each of our members. That way, you can feel comfortable in ordering as little or as much as you wish. the menu will offer a breakfast selection or a lunch selection. Pricing is reasonable.

The important thing is for everyone to come! AND enjoy the friendship! It's time to "lighten up" a bit. We've had a fantastic turnout the last two years and we hope to exceed the attendance this year.
