CONGRATULATIONS to our own Masher Sandy Cockerham who was elected to the AHA Governing Committee! I’m proud to say that the Motor City Mashers has a member of the AHA Governing Board as a member of our club! (Now Sandy, maybe we can work on that ‘all expense paid trip to the National Homebrewers Conference for the presidents of homebrew clubs that have AHA Governing Board members as club members’ thing… <grin>

The AHA Big Brew 2015 is coming Saturday, May 2nd! MOTOR CITY MASHERS will be ‘riding around the track’ at Adventures in Homebrewing in Taylor, Michigan! It’s Kentucky Derby Day… make sure you wear your finest hat or Derby gear!
