PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

This week Roger Morenc from Marlin & Barrel Distillery spoke to us about how he made the transition from a long-time corporate role to owner of a local distillery. His path was truly unique and it was very interesting to hear why he made the decision, how he learned his new craft, and how Marlin and Barrel use local ingredients to distil high-quality spirits over a broad range of spirit families. We will not have a meeting next week and want to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving and look forward to seeing you for our annual meeting on December 2nd where we will elect our Officers and Board of Directors for next year.

Brandon Stanko

2020 1st Vice President
