Matt - you should put an asterick on #5. :)

that 30-40 minutes can easily turn into an hour or more between 4:30 - 6:30 on a week night. During the summer it will increase another 30 minutes, especially on Friday's.

Matt,
I was talking with some folks at Davidus in Urbana this week and this subject came up. My neighbor and I have also been talking about the same thing for some time. Let's talk and get this thing going and make it a reality. I have friends who told me about the private clubs popping up in NJ and elsewhere. There is a wealth of experience out there to draw upon.

Would be great to have members who can help lend their expertise (legal, carpentry, electrical, etc).

just stopping by to see how the DC boys are making it, spring is coming and I'll start taking meetings there again, and just wanted to see what you guys had planned and if I could stop in and hang. How is the plans for lounge coming along Matt?

Thank you very much for asking we had our first offical meeting last week. Members who attended put in 50 each to go towards getting business things off the ground. But we gain new pontentional members everyday and were moving towards a lodge. Please continue to be in touch.

Hi guys,
I'm recent to the site and saw your post....interesting. I have a question about Maryland law. Does Maryland law give any reason/explaination on why a private club can't have employees, sale food or alcohol? I'm just curious as to why there is such a restriction.

until we smoke again,
