A little bit about our club:
2011 Fun Facts Report on the Tara Beekeepers
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 2011 Picnic Every year, our club has a picnic in May or June. It's a potluck affair, where members bring their favorite salads, side dishes and desserts, and the picnic coordinators have traditionally arranged for the grilled meats, ice & drinks, as well as the paper/plastic products. There are always fun contests and exciting door prizes. As a new member, "bee" sure not to miss this fantastic, annual event!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 2011 Holiday Party Every year, our club has a party on the first Monday evening in December. It's a catered affair, where members register to attend and, starting in 2012, VIPs (members who brought a dish to one of the monthly meetings during the year) receive a free ticket. There is a much anticipated quarterly prize drawing, plenty of door prize drawings, and volunteers who supported the club during the year in various capacities are recognized. The Tara Beekeepers Association's "BEEKEEPER of the YEAR Award" is announced. There is a hilarious White Elephant gift exchange, and a good time is had by all. This is, perhaps, the most talked-about event of the year. As a new member, you simply can't miss this outrageous, annual event!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 2011 Short Courses "Beekeeping for Beginners" Ever wanted to find out more about honey bees and beekeeping? Or, would you like a refresher on some of the basics? Well, here's your opportunity... Our one-day short course is free to members (you have the option to pay only for food & materials, if you want them) and offered at a nominal charge to the public as a means to promote honey bees and beekeeping in our community, as well as to grow the membership of the Club. Topics covered include:
