Ladies and gentlemen - Phil's Kitkowski, this year's director for the Michigan State Fair homebrew Competition, has sent me the attached note which indicates that with the expansion of the Michigan State Fair Homebrew competition to include all the BJCP styles this year, he is scrambling to make ends meet. Last year, the FORD club donated $50 , and we have historically assisted in this cause for the last ten years or so.
I would like to propose that we contribute $50.... we will have a formal vote at the Club Meeting next Tuesday - thanks for supporting a good local homebrew cause!
