Hi!  It's already time for another Hawk Talk - that's because our October meeting was one week later than usual and our November meeting is one week earlier!  This is going to be a very short version - we'll be back to "normal" next month.

 

THIS MONTH'S MEETING (SATURDAY, NOV. 7TH.)

This month's meeting will be held on Saturday, November 7th, at the South Moline Township Center in East Moline (our regular meeting place) at 1:30PM.  The program will feature a presentation by a representative from Metrolink, our bus system on the Illinois side of the Quad-Cities.  We will also be able to give feedback to Metrolink at this meeting about things we learned in our bus travels this past summer.
