Annual Membership and Planning meeting - Monday, November 3rd

Yes, it is that time of year already when we start putting together plans for the upcoming year.

Remember – We are a volunteer club and the WMR activity schedule is only as robust as our members/volunteers make it!!   The volunteer WMR board and event Chairs are here to support the other members that volunteer to host events  – many hands make light work.  Without event hosts our calendar will be sparse.   We need YOU!

We will meet at Gander’s Restaurant and Lounge located in the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel 4747 28th St SE, Grand Rapids, MI 49546

Dinner @ 6:00 pm

Planning/Membership meeting to follow @ approximately 7:00.

Please RSVP for a head count.

RSVP by 10/31/25 via email to Marshall Walters or call/text 616-780-1210 – if you call or text please provide your name and number of persons attending.
