Meeting Minutes for 1-18-2010

Meeting called to order at 7:10 pm by VP Brian Sabus.
Prior meeting minutes were approved.
The meeting was held at El Bait Shop on a two month trial basis. Pros and cons were discussed on the merits of making this the permanent site. The biggest concern is during the summer when the Iowa Cubs have a home game on the same night and the Bait Shop crowds are large. The positives include increased exposure for the club and better availability/convenience of guest speakers.

The January 18th meeting of the IBU will be held at el Bait Shop (http://www.elbaitshop.com/) at 7:00 PM. The February 15th meeting is still scheduled for the Red Monk.

Mike G. asked me to pass this along. He is going to be there again this year, hoping to surpass his excellent 2008 results.

Coming on November 7, 2009
The Seventh Annual
Festival of Wood and Barrel Aged BeerSM

Returning to:
Chicago Journeyman Plumbers' Local Union 130
Stephen M. Bailey Auditorium

Welcome to the fourth version of the Iowa Brewers Union web site. It started out as a static web site, then was overhauled into a content management system called postNuke. Later, after a hardware meltdown, it was revivified as a Wordpress blog. Now, we're running on Drupal. I will be trying to migrate past posts from Wordpress to this new format over the next few weeks.
