President's Message By George Darnell

Welcome to the Dog Days of Summer!

Do you know where this phrase originated? If not, look it up. You may be surprised how old it is. Bill Johnson did a great job on our July wine tour. Read the trip report in this issue.

August and September Trips

We still have room on our August brewery and vineyard tours. In fact, we have room on all our trips through September. Check them out in this issue and register soon. But don’t wait too long and be disappointed.

October Trips

Sam Kerns’ overnight trip to Pennsylvania in October is full, but we have a waiting list. Check out the fall color palettes wine tour and train ride we have scheduled for October. Registration is now open on MTL Events. Don’t forget to drop off your check with the concierge to seal the deal.

The August 11th meeting is from 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. in Rachel’s Kitchen. Please bring a dish to share.
