Everybody is welcome to attend the monthly ARPCA Business Meeting… they’re pretty casual meetings with light snacks and beverages provided by the Club. Emphasis is upon the events and programs conducted by ARPCA and fresh inputs are always welcome. Please attend and discover for yourself how much fun a business meeting can be.

Most meetings are on the 2nd Thursday of a month and promptly start 7:30PM (unless noted otherwise).  There are times when we do move them because of “competing events” such as Valentine’s Day or Watkins Glen DE in 2013…
