July 2018 Minutes

The July, 2018 B.A.S.H. meeting was held on Sunday the 8th at B&J’s Pizza on Staples, hosted by Paul Holder. El Presidente Mike Wojdyla called the meeting to order, thanked Paul and B&J’s and welcomed new members Sean Clair, Scott & Maggie Wilson and Tim & Mary Kay Schultz..  Treasurer Tom Freund gave his report and collected dues for 2018 - 2019.

Jessica Fearn reported on the club outings in May and June to see the CC Hooks. Another outing was held on July 26th. No brewing education was conducted this month, but Cory Mathews will report on fermentation next month. Jack Heim and Carroll Pate recently attended founding member Jake Garrett’s burial at sea. We made a final toast to Jake. William Lee has some baseball cards to give away to anyone with interest.

As we eagerly devoured B&J’s pizza courtesy of Paul, we enjoyed Paul’s rye stout and German blonde from Jim Hildreth and Carroll. We also made a dent on B&J’s inventory of draft, bottled and canned beers.
