Message from the Chairman

Brothers, Happy holidays men, I hope everyone had a memorable holiday season. I am excited about 2023 and what it promises for The 15. Starting this month, you’ll begin to see some additions to our monthly parties with the goals of bringing in new players and enhancing the experiences of our regular members and guests. Next month, we will gather to celebrate our 43rd anniversary on the weekend of 2/23-2/26. Make sure to buy your tickets to Anniversary dinner and Saturday’s play party. We will announce social events soon. In addition, Peter Fiske will be selling some of his magnificent whip collection at Transform1060 from noon to 2 pm on Saturday. I’ll see you all then! In brotherhood, Christopher Wood Chairman
