DARA Pizza Get-Together Friday, February 16

I’m trying to revive the old third Friday get-together hosted for years by Mike Buehler (sk). Join me (weather permitting) around 6:30pm at the Marion’s Piazza in Beavercreek (1320 N. Fairfield Rd). While everyone pays for their own food and drink, Mike always had discount pizza coupons. I’ll try and get some, so see me before ordering. This is a family friendly event. – N8ME.

Everyone is invited!!!
