Gauthier Industries Rescheduled

The tour will be rescheduled pending a confirmation email to be sent by Thursday March 30th.

"We apologize for the cancellation of the Gauthier Industries tour on March 13, but felt that it would be more important for all of us to ensure we could get home to warmth and safety that night. We are contemplating a tentative reschedule for Monday, April 17—just one week after our April PDM. This would mean two nights out for our members this month. We will formalize this with a separate e-mail for you folks in the next 48 hours, but did want to plant a seed for you We had just under 50 people registered for the tour and I’ve had numerous calls/e-mails requesting a re-schedule, so we’ll do our best to meet your requests"
