SWWA Monthly Meetings

1

Monthly meetings are held in the Community Room at Belgium Cold Springs Fire Department’s Station One which is at 7920 River Road, Baldwinsville, NY.  The meetings generally start at 6:30pm and end by 9pm. Attendees start assembling around 6pm to enjoy conversation and review of displayed items. Each month we feature a different topic, demonstration, or event based on member’s interests and market forces.  Our 2016 meeting schedule can be viewed by clicking here. In addition to the featured event, we have a Show & Tell session, a business meeting, and hold raffles.
