Welcome fellow MBCA members to the “dog days of summer”. If we all were thinking that Fall is in sight, we need to think again. Temperatures have soared and most of us have retired to indoor activities. That being said, we are planning for future MBCA events once the weather turns cooler.
This Fall should present the opportunity to visit one, if not several, events taking place here locally as well as nationally.
