The following is a list of the events that we know of for 2011. This list is not complete and it certainly does not have all of the events we want on it. Please review it and send me information regarding the events that need to be added. I would like to also include the major events of The Clubs in Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, and Mississippi as well as the major regional events that many of our members have attended in the past. Thanks for your help.
