2011-2012 PROGRAM


General meetings, unless otherwise noted, will be held in the Jones Auditorium of the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station at 123 Huntington Street, New Haven. Please note the format for general meetings: a light lunch will be served from 11:45-12:15pm. The program begins at 12:15pm and lasts for approximately one hour. The business meeting begins after the program, around 1:15pm.


In addition to the club's regular programs, before many meetings there are hour-long information sessions or workshops scheduled by committees or local civic groups. All members are welcome - and encouraged - to attend these extra sessions.
