Happy New Year to all!

 

Thank you to Doreen and Joe Jasonis for their hospitality in again hosting our Christmas Party.  We had a wonderful time enjoying the camaraderie and the delicious food.

 

A big change in our meeting dates is listed below.   all of our FORMER Saturday night meetings scheduled at the Bank, will NOW BE HELD THERE ON SUNDAY AFTERNOONs AT 2:00 PM.  This change was requested to allow for better daylight driving, especially during the winter months.

 

Also, in case of a possible meeting cancellation due to weather, please call me at: (203) 758-4685 or e-mail me after 10:00 am on the meeting date to find out the status of the meeting.
