Oh Happy Day! We Meet Again

meeting

In-person Chapter Meeting! We’ll see you Thursday, April 7 at our new location

The SWTU Board is happy, relieved, and grateful to announce we are resuming in person membership meetings on Thursday, April 7, at Schwoegler’s Bowling Alley on Grand Canyon Drive in Madison. The meeting will start at 7 p.m. All are cordially invited to arrive any time after 5:30 for dinner or drinks and catching up with friends we have not been with for far too long. We’ll meet in Schwoegler’s community room on the southern end of the building. The room is located just off the southernmost entryway.

This is the annual business meeting for SWTU and we will be asking for your approval of two changes to the bylaws (watch your email and next Newscasts for more on this). It may also feature the election of new board members and officers (see the article on page 2 and watch the next Newscasts for more information).

The rest of the meeting will consist of a discussion of our big spring fundraiser on April 23. This is much more than a delayed or outside Icebreaker (as you can see in the following article!) but a new event with lots of new and fun activities with some old favorites. You’ll enjoy learning more and, we hope, some of you will be inspired to help.

We may also have some other light presentations and will for sure have time for folks to catch up with one another … and free flies for new members!

For the safety of all, if you or someone in your household is not feeling well, we urge you to stay home. Please also consider the CDC guidelines for gatherings, including staying up to date with your vaccinations. Thank you for your kind consideration. Like most venues, Schwoegler’s does not require masks but we’ll respect any member’s decision to wear one.

Strike out to our new meeting location
The bar where we’d formally met is a new $40 million development. And so the members of your board hit the town and spared no effort in exploring potential venues. In the end, they pinned their hopes on a west side location with easy access to the beltline, lots of parking, a nice banquet room, AV options and a tasty bar/menu – all at a very fair price. With the bowling puns exhausted, we’ll just give you the address … Schwoegler’s Lanes, 444 Grand Canyon Dr., Madison, WI 53719
