HISTORY TO REMEMBER

- RtE expanded our knowledge by assigning the A.L.E. auxiliary the moniker of "Wine Connoisseur Tasting Union."  This group is in no way related to the Women's Christian Temperance Union.

With Carry Nation at the head,
is it any wonder that the temperance movement failed?

PROPOSED A.L.E. ANTHEM

Imagine me and brew, I do

I drink a whole lot every night,

it's only right,

to think about the brew you love,

and hold it tight,

so hoppy together.....

I can't see me chuggin' no barley but you

for all my life....

When you're near me Darlin' my glass will be full

for all my life....

SPONSORSHIP
- We at the A.L.E. graciously thank Burch Farms for sponsoring our HOPS meeting.  Be sure to get there for strawberries on June 15 !!!

Meeting adjourned at 2 and one half-pitcher o'clock.
