This will be a great opportunity for our members to see what type of equipment is available to the amateur community. This is sure to be an interesting and enlightening evening. Please do not miss this event. All who can make it prior to the meeting are welcome to attend a Dutch Treat dinner at Shun Lee Place. The location for the Monthly Meetings is at the Union Hall of the Charlotte firefighters Assoc.
Parking is on the side of the bldg.
