 Message from the President….

    I hope everyone that attended the Christmas party had a great time, I know Connie and I did.  The food, service and the DJ were just great. Marie did a fantastic job setting that up.

    The Millsboro parade was cancelled due to the weather so I guess we will have to wait until next year to win our trophy.  I appreciate those that signed up, we would have had a good turn out.

    Nominations for new officers are just around the corner and everyone should be thinking of possible nominations at the February and March meetings.  Along that line, I would like to give my special thanks to all the current officers and committee people for all the work to benefit the Club this year. 

    Hope to see everyone January 8th at the Cottage Café.  Connie and I would like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
