Monthly Meetings

RHLV meetings were held at 7:00 PM November 20 and December 18, 2021 at St. Thomas UCC Church, 902 E. Macada Road, Bethlehem.  This would have also been the site for the cancelled January meeting.  This location is a temporary replacement for our usual meeting location due to ongoing mandates that LANTA must follow. St. Thomas is easily accessed from Route 22 and exiting south on Route 512 (Center St.) or Route 191 (Linden St.) to E. Macada Rd. Ample parking is available on-site. Black Diamond Society of Model Engineers’ facility is located directly beside the church. 

  • Masks must be worn.
  • Social distancing guidelines will be adhered to.
  • Please consider a donation to help offset the cost of facility rental.
 

Note:  If a winter weather advisory or storm warning is issued for any portion of the day of the meeting, the meeting is cancelled.
