Message from President Buck Buchanan

Upcoming events for FEBRUARY & MARCH 2024

Many people have asked and no, you do not have to be a Brit to join the BritsnUS Club, we would love to have you join our club and enjoy our monthly entertainment

We are in desperate need of a SECRETARY for the Club. This position requires taking and publishing meeting minutes of Monthly Board meetings while contributing your thoughts to making sure the club has a successful year. We would really appreciate someone coming forward to fill this very important Executive Board seat as soon as possible.

Thank you from the Board Members
