Message from our “Prez”:
December
Message:
I hope everyone
enjoyed the holidays and are ready to have a great year in 2008! The January
Meeting was held at Fin's Restaurant on January 19, 2008. Thanks to all for
coming out and staying for the confusion! It's a little difficult to have a
meeting in the middle of all the action in a restaurant. I gave an update on
Boat Drinks 2008, which will be at The Lighthouse Restaurant again this year,
but we will have two bands. Jim Morris and The Calypso Nuts. More info will
follow soon. We held our election for our charities for Boat Drinks and the
results were as follows: Alzheimers Association and MERR will be our
charities for 2008 once again. We need someone who would be willing to take
over handling the club T-shirts & sweatshirts. I have no room to store them.
Please let me know if you can handle this for the club! We are also looking
for someone who is computer savy who would be willing to take over updating
our website. Please let me know if anyone is willing to handle this! Angela
Ross has been doing this for years and she is so busy, she really needs a
break, thanks Angela! That's all for now
prez,
Debbie
