corned beef and cabbageYes the March meeting is on the 14th (not the 7th as originally scheduled) and will be all you can eat corned beef & cabbage. I want to encourage every one to bring any friends, there will be plenty to eat! Food will will be available for serving by 5:45 on, and I understand the meeting will be a short one. The price will be $12.00 per person and I will personally furnish some beer for the meal.
