President’s Message:

 

Our November Meeting had to be cancelled due to the Banks’ unexpected holidays on both Friday and Saturday in observance of Veteran’s Day.  Therefore our Annual Meeting will take place at the January Meeting.  Members have asked to move our Saturday night meetings at the Bank to the second Sundays at 2:00 pm in 2007.  The scheduling of these meetings will be listed in the January Newsletter so please watch for them.

 

Last year our Christmas Party was a lot of fun socializing and enjoying a delicious spread prepared by Doreen and Joe.  So we invite all our members to attend this year. Contributions of side dishes, appetizers, etc. will be appreciated and bring along a bottle of wine if you choose to drink and also wish share it.  Also if you would like to participate in the Grab Bag, bring a gift of about $5.00 value, suitable for either a man or woman. Please give them a call at (860) 379-6463 or at jjasonis6463@charter.net if you would like to attend.
