In an effort to provide more content to club members, handouts or PowerPoint presentations from weekly speakers will now be archived on the website for future reference. This feature will be very useful when watching the recorded Facebook feed after the event, or if you attended the presentation, but want to refer back to the information. These will be available only to club members and you will need to log in to the website to gain access.
The first presentation available to members is the March 19th presentation by Steve VanBuskirk on the Lake Lorainne Development.
