 MEETING SCHEDULE

 

Doc Fritchey TU holds its membership meetings on the fourth Tuesday of each month, except for one month during the spring (Annual Banquet), some summer months, and December (no meeting).

Our business meeting, which is open to the general membership, starts at 6:30, followed by the featured presentation of the month. Members who would like to present something to the board are asked to contact the chapter president before the meeting to schedule time on the agenda. 

   GUESTS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME AT OUR CHAPTER MEETINGS!


Next Monthly Chapter Meeting - Tuesday, July 27

Our July meeting will be the first of two picnic outings this summer. This month, Joe & Carolyn Lauver will host chapter members and guests at their home along Clarks Creek at 1851 Clarks Valley Road. We will get underway at 5:30, and fishing for bass and bluegills in the Lauver's pond will be available...or you can just practice your casting on the pond if you prefer. Look for the two brick pillars with a TU sign at the entrance to their driveway located 3.8 miles from where you turn north onto SR325 (toward Tower City) off SR225. If you're traveling south on SR325, the location is about a half mile beyond the lower limit of the FFO area.

Our Current Indoor

Meeting Location
 

Our indoor meetings are now being held at Sasha's Hideaway Restaurant at 6791 Linglestown Road (SR 39) in West Hanover Township.
 

Due to the current major reconstruction of Linglestown Road in the Borough of Linglestown, it is recommended that you use the Manada Hill exit off I-81 and travel west on SR39 for 2.3 miles where you will find Sasha's on the left.

Sasha's has a Bistro Menu with lighter fare as well as full dinners and beverages of choice.  You can check out their menu at
www.finecasualdining.com, and their phone no. is 717-651-9493.
