We are taking the summer off and not having regular chapter meetings in July or August. The busy, hot, travel-filled summer months are not generally conducive to large meetings. We will get back together on Thursday, September 13. All monthly meetings thereafter will be held on the second
Thursday (not Tuesday as in the past). The location remains the same: The Coliseum Bar and Grill.
Have a great summer! There won’t be an August newsletter, but keep checking swtu.org for updates, pictures, news, volunteer opportunities and more! Like and follow our Facebook page, as well.

Are your ant imitations as prolific as the real deal? Probably not. Read More
