Dear Mr. Braun,

Saw the posting in the Pipes Mailgroup.

Please join us for the next meeting which will be on December 14, 1994 a
Wednesday.  We meet at the Holiday Inn in Mansfield located off rte 140.
(Drive down 95 from Boston, get off at 140 to Mansfield.  Travel on 140 to
second light and take right into Forbes Industrial park.  Holiday Inn is well
marked and at end of Forbes Road.)  The meeting starts at 6:00PM, we order
seperately off the menu at around 7:00PM, eat at 8:00PM, gab and swap stories,
tobacco and pipes until 10.  Casual dress, about 15 of us in a private room,
everyone brings pipes to show off, either recent acquisitions or treasured
favorites.  The group includes a retiring security guard, a college librarian,
a computer whiz, a state worker, insurance agent, machinist, tobaconist, and
all are fun people joined by a fondness for pipes, tobacco and a willingness
to share their stories with others.  Many of the members have collections
exceeding 300 pipes, for which they can recite the date bought, how much paid,
who made it, the weather the day it was made and the location of the briar
when it was harvested. :-{).

Dues are $2.00 per meeting.  Each meeting has a theme this coming one being
Meerchaums so bring yours to show, admire, swap or sell.

EMail back f you want more info.
