It's the annual Christmas meeting, and it is a favorite of most CMARC members, because of the potluck-style meal, as well as ELECTIONS for the nominees to the CMARC Board. You will want to come early, because THIS meeting is usually the best attended each year. We can't save you a seat, maybe we can save some of Gloria Cote's Peanut Butter Sheet Cake!
