Our Business Meeting is scheduled for the first Tuesday of every month and our Social Meeting, on the Third Tuesday of the month. Because of our proximity to the Jacobs Field, we must occasionally change meeting dates, as parking becomes a problem during game events. The dates of the monthly meetings are published in advance in our monthly newsletter, The Cleveland Counselor.
