General Information

We normally hold a luncheon meeting every two months - either a Sunday or Saturday. Most meetings are in the general Prescott area; however Col Newton also holds a bi-monthly meeting for the Payson area members. We try to have one meeting a year 'over the hill' in Sedona or Flagstaff - which is in a central location for all members to attend
