December Mtg., Officers Elected, Packages, etc.

DECEMBER MEETING:   Our next monthly meeting WILL be held in December, on the second Wednesday, Dec. 13... HOWEVER – we will hold it at the OBX Brewing Station in their upstairs area and begin at 6:00 p.m.  Thought it would be fun to mix it up!  Everyone who wants to order food or drinks may do so on their own tab (but not mandatory to eat/drink if you don’t want!).  Looking toward 2018, would love more input as to what your wants/needs are for Guild speakers & topics, so please come prepared to “throw a monthly topic idea in the hat.”  Literally!  There will be pens & paper available to write down your preferences and toss into the mix.

ALSO AT THE MEETING:  I will bring all of the honeys from the contest so that those who weren’t able to attend can sample the delicious variety of OBX honey (and those who were there can have another taste!!).

YOUR OFFICERS:  At the potluck/honey contest, officers for 2018 were elected.  They remain the same as 2017… those are:  President, Denise Deacon; Vice-President, Susan Rollason; Treasurer, Drew Owens; Program Director, Julie Moye; and Secretary, Dalton Hyde.  Please see the tab on our website for everyone’s contact info should you need it.

SURVEY:  I am hoping to put together an informal survey to gather info as to who lost hives this year, as in talking to several of you it seems an inordinately high number perished or absconded late in the year.  Please watch for that in a future email.

PACKAGES:  Believe it or not, I have already received info from two suppliers about package prices & dates for 2018.  That info will also be disbursed in another email or website post for those who would like to be part of a group order.

I’ll send out a reminder prior to the Dec. meeting about the change of time & venue.  Enjoy your Thanksgiving holiday!
