CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE JANUARY 2012

WE HAD A GREAT TIME AT OUR CHRISTMAS DINNER. THERE WAS A SMALL ATTENDANCE, WHICH WAS SAD TO SEE! THE PEOPLE THAT DID ATTEND WERE A JOY TO BE WITH. WE HAD A BLAST SINGING KAREOKE AND DOING THE GIFT EXCHANGE. OUR PROGRAM CHAIR HAD PLANNED A GREAT HOLIDAY DINNER FOR US ALL TO ENJOY!!! LETS START THE NEW YEAR OFF WITH A BANG AND GET HIGHER ATTENDANCE AT OUR MEETINGS. BRING SOMEONE NEW IF YOU CAN. I HOPE THE HOLIDAYS WERE GOOD TO EVERYONE AND EVERYONE HAVE A GOOD NEW YEAR.
