 Message from the President….

We had a great turn out at our last meeting at the Georgia House even though it was short notice due to a change in the date.  One more meeting will be held at the Georgia House on November 6 and hope you can all be there.  We will be discussing our Christmas party which Marie is planning for us and also the various Christmas parades being held in the area. 

    I want to extend a special thank you to John and Donna Dunning for inviting us to their boat on September 28th.  Those that attended had a great time and enjoyed the ride and the food!!

    We had to cancel the pig roast due to Marie being ill.  We all hope she is much improved and hope we can do the roast again next year.
