President’s Message Happy New Year!
I am proud once again to have been elected as your President for another year. Thank you! This year 2011, the Club begins it’s 97th year. I will be call-ing on volunteers to form a 100th Anniversary Committee, so that together we can plan for our 100th Anniversary Gala. June 8th, 2014 will be here before we know it! The Fall Social was a good time with the Rick Gazda Band. The Christmas Party was a go on December 18th because we had no snow unlike last year. But, it sure was cold! Until next time, Be Happy, Stay Healthy, and Keep Warm!
Larry
