With a wonderful afternoon shrimp boil / luau behind us and only two more gatherings before years end, lets put those dates on your calendar as the holidays approach. November 15th Col. Chris Burgoyne will speak on Arc Flash and to close out the year we will have our member appreciation night at the Trailhead in St. Charles starting at 4pm on Dec. 6th.
Please start considering any recommendations for speakers for the PDC in March of 2019 as now is the time we start to accept suggestions and scheduling.
Remember that all of this info can be found on our new website at http://www.AIHAStLouis.org

You missed a great Luau on the Lake - A bit brisk but fellowship and maybe a cocktail or two kept us warm.
