The May issue of Keyed Up is ready to download.

This is a reminder for the AES Tailgate. Here are the details:

Date: Saturday, April 20

Time: 6AM to Noon

Location: 621 Commonwealth Avenue, Orlando FL, 32803

The next LMARS Board Meeting will be at the South Seminole Masonic Lodge at 142 Triplet Lake Dr. Casselberry, FL 32707. For the rest of the year, themeetingswill be at theCasselberry Fire Station #21 at 681 Seminole Blvd., Casselberry, FL 32707. The meetings are at 5:00PM on the last Thursday of each month. Everyone is invited to join the meetings.

Your Board of Directors has once again approved an annual Christmas/Holiday Party. It will be at the same location at the same time and the date this year will be December 6, 2012 which just happens to be our regular meeting night. It will actually begin at 7 pm with dinner at 7:30 pm. There will be plenty of good food--we are using the same caterer who just happens to be a member of the club. We will have prizes. There will be a minimum of business conducted at this meeting; it will be mostly partying.

The good news is that despite inflation, we were able to keep the price as low as it was last year which will be $10 per person. We expect a large turnout so get your tickets early.

Tickets will go on sale at our October meeting and at that time we will answer any questions you may have.
