Reminder of our Dinner Meeting this Sunday, January 8, 2012 at 6:00 p.m. at the original Montgomery Inn restaurant, Montgomery Road location.

Dinner is $25 for GCBOA members, and $35 for non-members and guests.  This includes a choice of 4 dinner options and non-alcoholic beverages  from a list off the Montgomery Inn menu.  There is a cash bar option also.

The dinner meeting does count as 1 of the 4 required meetings per State rules.

As part of our meeting, we will be passing out a laminated Pre-Game sheet to officials in attendance.  We may briefly discuss the pre-game, and hope the sheet will be a benefit to your game moving forward.

If you are planning to attend, please email Angelo at azolotas at cinci.rr.com back by Thursday evening.  We need to provide a final number to Montgomery Inn Friday.

Thank You to everyone who has already replied.

Have a great remainder of the season. 

Our Dinner Meeting, January 8, 2012, at the original Montgomery Inn location in Montgomery.
