Chapter News

Here’s what’s going on in the next few months…

Now that the holiday season is here, we will be enjoying the Lights on the Parkway in Allentown after our December meeting. We also have our traditional New Year’s Eve Party in conjunction with the USS Adamant, assuming of course that we all survive the End of the World on 12/21/2012.

In January 2013 we will be scheduling our annual snow tubing event at Big Boulder. And in February we’re going back to our favorite winter convention, Farpoint in Timonium MD.

Contact us if interested in participating in any of these events or for additional details.
