The BOARD (The Brotherhood Of Appreciating Repeal Day)
The history behind the BOARD...

The B.O.A.R.D. is a loosely affiliated fraternal organization founded
by a small group of friends who enjoyed good beer and good times with
higher a goal to make Repeal Day an annual celebration with a noble
cause. Vsit our website at http://www.repealday.blogspot.com

Repeal Day marks the repeal of the 18th amendment to our constitution,
representing the end of a 13 yearlong ban on the manufacture, sale,
and transport of alcoholic beverages in the United States. With the
help of several local distributors and microbreweries, we have put
together Western PA's second annual Repeal Day celebration since 1933.
Participants will enjoy samples of a wide array of craft brews poured
by experts that pride themselves on the craft. Live music from two
different bands, a light dinner, and a silent auction of beer
paraphernalia will provide diversions for all.

The Shenango River Watchers are a non-profit watershed group founded
to clean up, preserve and protect the environmental, scenic and
recreational attributes of the Shenango River. For more information

Dec. 5th 2008

Ok, the time and date are set for this year's Repeal Day Beer Taste. It's, of course, Dec 5th, 2008 at the Corinthian in downtown Sharon. Nick, Tom, and John Mik met with their great staff last night. The time for this year's event is from 6pm to 11pm with the beer taste lasting until 9pm and a cash bar open until 11pm. Some wanted longer and some wanted it shorter but in the end we came to an agreement that seemed to make sense and everyone seemed happy with the times. It will be another great event this year. Tickets will go on sale soon and there are a limited number this year so see a BOARD member to get your ticket you do not want to miss this event. The price is $25.

Reopening of Titusville Brewpub - Blue Canoe

This week marks the re-opening of the Titusville, PA brewpub, The Blue Canoe, that will feature Matt Allyn's (Voodoo) beers. Last week we took a field trip from the clone to tour the place and sample Matt's beers.

A few pics taken at last week's clone... Thank you for a real good time. The clone grounds were impressive, weather was perfect,

and I cannot wait for next year's event.

B.O.A.R.D. MEMBER INVERVIEWS BARACK

Like a proud papa, I post the picture of fellow B.O.A.R.D. member John M. just following his interview with presidential hopeful Barack Obama. Be sure to make Thursday's B.O.A.R.D. meeting (8/21 location t.b.d.) to find out Barack's stance on B.O.A.R.D. issues and to find out how many tickets to our 12/5 Repeal Day event that Barack purchased. Where will he stay when he's here? Find out at 11. Nice job, John!

Steamy Hot July Meeting of the BOARD or a Scene from American Graffiti

July's meeting was held on the patio at Tully's. The evening featured high evening temps (80s), cornhole, Sierra Nevada Pale Ale and Summerfest, and as a special treat, some of Bob Bero's Hop Candy.

There was good showing by the BOARD members as well as a few people we used to know.
