				"LAM Potpourri 
				Slide Show 
				& Annual Dinner Meeting" 
				by LAM Board 
				& Club Members 
				
				Our monthly 
				meetings are always open to the public, and you do not need to 
				live in Los Alamos to belong to the LA Mountaineers. 
				
				Potluck Dinner: our meal 
				will include 'Bob's Bodacious' barbeque brisket, and Chocolate 
				Maven cake provided by the club (water will also be available). 
				Please bring a 
				side dish to complement the meal, as well as your own 
				plates and utensils. Dinner will be served 
				at 6:45pm, so an arrival time of 6:30pm is requested. 
				Please provide 
				2 serving utensils for your dish, as we will have a double 
				line set up. If you provide something that appeals to those with 
				special dietary needs, such as vegetarian, gluten free, sugar 
				free, low fat, etc., it would be nice to note it with a Post-it 
				for those watching ingredients. 
				
				Note: there is no charge for 
				members to attend this dinner meeting except updating your dues. Non-members are asked to 
				become members for the tiny fee of $15/singe or $20/family.
				Why become a member?
