We Salvaged A Great Social!
Our monthly socials give us a chance to connect outside the club, getting to know each other better. Such was the case last Thursday at the Salvage BBQ, downtown Portland. Next social is planned for February 16th - stay tuned for the location! Always feel free to bring a guest, a spouse/SO, or whomever you'd like! No meeting, no announcements or speakers, just friendly faces - some you know well, some new, some first time! Here's a few pics! Larry Gross, bottom photo, is not indicating how many beers he drank.
