              club members to see the hall and discuss the idea of having our 2010 Celebrity

              Waiter Dinner there.There was a lengthy discussion over the pros and cons of the

               idea. Questions were raised over whether we could actually draw a bigger crowd

               and whether we should have an event outside of Kittery. Eventually a motion was

               made to try the event at the Lodge for one year. The vote was split with three nays

               and one abstension. The motion passed.  After further discussion a date of

               October 22nd was tenatively decided upon  Sue and Russ will chair the committee.
