June 28 Monthly meeting at Home Sweet Homebrew

July 23 Annual Weiss/Wurst pool party, 3:00 PM
Same fun, new location, in Roxborough at the home of longtime (but seldom-seen) members Steve Landstreet and Barbara Harris. HOPS will be providing the wurst and some beer, though of course even more, and different weissbiers and other beer are welcome, as are accompanying side dishes or desserts. Karen has pledged to bring a croquet set, but the only pool toys they have are a water frisbee and a diving board (so if anyone wants to demonstrate a one-and-a-half from their competitive diving days, we're looking forward to it!), so if you have a water volleyball set or whatever, feel free to bring it. Let's hope the weather cooperates. More info--their phone number is 215-509-7146.
The address is 6918 Cliff Road, a small street perpendicular to Paoli, which is itself parallel to the better-known Domino (Dump) Lane (confused?), basically between Ridge Pike in the middle part of Roxborough and Umbria (which is the continuation of Manayunk's famous "Main Street". See you there!
