Our English-language library is one of the perks of membership and one of the services your annual dues supports. You should take advantage! In the past, the library was open for a few hours outside of the monthly meetings, but usage has dwindled. Please help us serve you better by letting us know what times you use the library's open hours, if at all. You have until midnight, December 1 to answer the poll. Read more here.

If you would like to join the Wine Group, follow the instructions on the FAQ article, "How do the group mailing lists work?" to join.
