PATINA May 18, 2025 Meeting “Tool trading Part deux!”
May 18 @ 9:00 am - 2:30 pm
The May 2025 in-person CLUB meeting in McLean VA, will be SUNDAY May 18. Start time is 9:00am.
For this meeting, we will concentrate on tool trading, always one of our more popular events.
Quite a few people indicated that they missed the March event, and others regretted that the rain caused the tailgate activity to end early. Many requested another opportunity to trade tools, so the May meeting will be an extended tool trading opportunity.
If anyone wants to donate items or sell items as an auction, we will hold an impromptu auction, otherwise we will trade tools as long as the interest remains.
As always, we will use the upper lot only for tailgating. Please park in the lower lot if you are not planning to set up a table. If there are enough consignments to have a mini-auction, it would take place after tailgating, approximately 11am. We will tailgate outside, weather permitting, at around 9AM. If the weather is sketchy, a tailgater may move a limited number of tools inside. The mini-auction would be held inside.
Also, at this meeting we will discuss the impending open club officers positions and ask for people to fill them. These two positions are possibly the most important of the club; the club’s actual future could be at risk.
