Hello MASHers,

The club unanimously approved its revised bylaws at last month's meeting. We have subsequently been in touch with the IRS and we're awaiting their notice about our status in their eyes. Many thanks to MASH VP Josh K. for leading the effort to bring our bylaws into the 21st century.

We seem to have settled on dates for the 2011 Coconut Cup. We'll plan to have preliminary judging (as needed) Feb. 4th-10th, 2011. The Coconut Cup itself will be held Feb. 11th-12th. Entries will be due somewhere around the end of January. Get your entries ready and please be prepared to volunteer to help Jon out in whatever way he needs since this will be his first time running the show!

Entries for the CFHB Sunshine Challenge are due no later than November 7th. The Challenge itself will be held Nov. 19th-20th with preliminary judging the weekend before. Please make it up if you can.

Congratulations are due to Josh K. for taking quite a few medals at this year's Commander SAAZ competition. Josh ended up taking a Gold Medal in the Rocket Fuel category, a Silver Medal for a Spice/Herb/Vegetable Beer, and Bronze Medals for an IPA and a Belgian Strong Ale. With these wins, he has taken over the BotY competition lead. Way to go!

Cheers,
Scott
MASH President 2010
