2008 Calendar of Events

Our general meetings are held the first Sunday of every month at 2 p.m. in meeting room C on the second floor of the Huntsville / Madison County Public Library. The main branch of the library is located at 915 Monroe Street near the Von Braun Center between Clinton Avenue and Governors Drive, both of which are easily accessible from Memorial Parkway. The meeting rooms are on the second floor just behind and to the right of the reference desk in the center. Because we are in a library and the wall facing the rest of the library is made of glass, food or drink is not allowed.

If bad weather or a holiday occurs on that day, our meetings will be held the following Sunday at the same location and time. The business portion of the meeting generally lasts about a half hour, though we socialize for about an hour or two. We occasionally go to a movie or have some other fun activity during or after the meeting. Please feel free to e-mail us at info@usswvb.org for specific event information.

Please note that the bold entries are of particular interest or of importance. Also note that some of the items have been marked with a flashing warning to indicate that plans are tentative and may change before the event occurs.
