The 2013 C.L.A.P. (Christmas Light Addiction Program) for those who admit they have Christmas Light Addiction Problems. The date has been set. Agend is still being finalized, but I hope to have a big announcment for our meeting in a week or so.

So the venue is the same, we will have the meeting at the Foley's. There is no better place in the country to hold a meeting like this for sure. If the weather cooperates, we have lunch, "sittin on the dock of the bay" by the lake.

C.L.A.P. is a free event to attend. Zero $$, we are probably the last hold outs in the country that does not charge to attend.

The event includes a Friday Night Pizza Feast Meet & Greet, at 5pm for those in the local area, and those flying or driving in who want to talk more lights. The gang is usually setting up the shop at the Foley's and getting ready Friday afternoon before the Pizza Feast if you are in the area stop in.

The agenda has been finalized for C.L.A.P. 2013, and now we are looking for RSVP's. Again, this is one of the last free local meetings left in the country. We have a special announcement with Reinder's, who is sponsoring our meeting.

If there is something special from your 2012 display you would like to bring as a show & tell, that is always welcome!

We will set up the swap meet if you want to get rid of some un-needed items.

We look forward to seeing you there
