PRESIDENT'S WORDS Last month at the October meeting proposed changes to the Bylaws were presented and we will vote on them this month.  The present criteria for “Most Valuable Brew Bayouer” award will be available and we will decide on changes in December.  The only other pressing business I know of is that Talk About Good will not be available for a meeting in December.  Trent told be last week that he has holiday events scheduled for every day in December.  That’s good for all of us because that means his business is doing good but we will need to decide what the club wants to do about the December meeting. Congratulations go to Norm for Brewer of the Year and Bill and Kristie Smith for MVBB in 2009. Topic this month will be from Darrell and the Style presentation will be from Bill Smith. Valroy
