This event takes place annually to reward the previous year’s top competitors, plan for the upcoming year and where members vote on the club officers. This year’s meeting takes place February 10, 2024 at the Doherty Hotel in Clare, Michigan.

This year’s banquet party will include a Silent Auction, so bring your seldom used gotta-have-it’s and help us upgrade our awards for next year’s awards. (Everyone loves award upgrades!) The MacGillycuddy Room will be available to us from 9:30 A.M. to 7:30 P.M. Everyone is responsible for their food, beverages, and tips.

If you’re already a member and curious to see what we do, we invite you to attend as it is open format. Please RSVP at bbirr@centurytel.net. There is no fee to attend.
