Hey, all. Thanks so much to EVERYONE who made the Holiday Party possible! 

You gave some great feedback on events you'd like to participate in and equipment you'd like to see the guild purchase in 2016. We'll be sharing that feedback at the January meeting. Don't forget, we'll also do officer elections at the January meeting.

We're now accepting 2016 membership dues. Unless you joined after Brewfest, now is the time to renew. You can do this via PayPal to payment@lawrencebrewers.org by using the send money to friends and family option. Dues are $25/single and $35/family. You can also pay via cash or check at the meeting. If you joined AFTER Brewfest (October through December), your membership is good through December of this year. If you're a new member paying for the first time, shoot us a message so we can make sure to get the appropriate info from you for our records. 

Looking forward to seeing you at the Jan. 14 meeting! Cheers! — Jenalea
