Hold the Presses: Business Meeting and Apple Cider 🍎
Join the Club on Thursday, October 17, 4:00-7:30 p.m. at Riamede Farm in Chester. We will start with a short business meeting to discuss upcoming events and other Club operations, then press apple cider to take to the October 19 Navy v. Charlotte football tailgate, followed by food and fellowship.
USNA ’09 grad Ashley Asdal is the proprietor of Riamede Farm in Chester. This historic farm hosts over 5,000 apple trees, and we will use the farm's apples and cider press to make 15-20 gallons of cider to take to the tailgate for mulling and service to the Brigade. The evening will conclude with a potluck dinner (and, of course, cider) in the barn. Please bring a meal to share!
Club members are welcome to attend the business meeting (starting promptly at 4pm), cider pressing (starting at approximately 4:45pm), and/or dinner (approximately 6:15pm).
Please RSVP to let us know you will be attending.
