MEETINGS:
The North Central Chapter meets the second Wednesday of every month at 11:30 a.m., currently at the Jumbo Buffet, 2731 South Hurstbourne Parkway, adjacent to the Stoneybrook Showcase Cinemas. Location of the meeting may change, so it's a good idea to call an officer or check this site (below) for specifics. Other meetings may be called as needed. A buffet lunch is available for under $7.00 and many valuable door prizes are awarded. A raffle is held with a 50/50 split between the Chapter and the raffle winner. Chances are $1.00 each or 3 for $2.00. Educational and/or entertainment programs are offered at each meeting. Bring a door prize if you like, and bring a friend or two - guests are always welcome! Come meet your friends and make new friends!
