A big thank you out to the Management and Staff of the Podollan Inn for saving the day. We had our first Scheduled meeting of 2020, but some communication issues had resulted in the Banquet room not being booked. The staff jumped to the pumps and rallied additional staff to come in and in the end we had supper only 1/2 hour later than usual. The delay provided a little time for the members to get reacquainted after the Christmas season. Thanks again to Podollan Inn for their cooperation and great service.
