Meetings
January Meeting
08 Jan 2012
Carmel, IN
White River Golden Retriever Club will have their January meeting at the home of Barb Rollins. We are going to try something a little different at the January meeting. We are going to play Trivial Pursuit. Depending on the number of attendees we will divide into teams and challenge the trivial knowledge we all have. To wet your memory here are a couple of questions:
- "What city did Dick Clark's 'American Bandstand' originate in?"
- "What U.S. state has the smallest population?"
Hey, if you have the game around your house, you may want to go through some of the cards to refresh your memory and impress your teammates. Prizes for the winners! We do have some important things to discuss at this meeting:
- Election of officers
- A possible spring (2013) VST in addition to the Fall TDX(See information on the proposal in the December '11 newsletter)
- Ideas for outdoor meetings in 2012.
Our lunch will be a pitch-in, so bring a dish to share. Bring your own service and drinks.
