HATS OFF TO:

SULLIVAN LEISURE TIME CLUB

SPRING EDITION 2016

Hi LTC Members! Spring is finally here – we hope! Thank you for your support of our

programs. After a lot of number crunching and debate, the officers and the planning

Committee have come to realize that we must raise the price of our luncheons from $5.00

for members to $8.00, and from $10.00 for guests to $13.00. This extra $3.00 will really

help us stay solvent for the next couple of years. We are also forced to raise our dues to

$10.00 per person starting in 2017. We hope this small increase will not deter you from

attending. We are not out to make a profit, only to break even. I really hope to see many

of you at our activities during the course of the season.

President Theresa.
