Once
a month or so, WE-GO hosts a <b>Frocularity</b> event, at a member’s
residence or other off-site. What is <b>Frocularity </b>you
ask? ..... it goes back to a past Club President whose theme for his
Presidential year was Fun, Fellowship, and <b>Frocularity</b>. In
other words, <b>Frocularity </b>is getting together to socialize
and ‘let our hair down.’<o:p></o:p></div>
