Greetings from your President
Happy New Year! I am very excited about the upcoming year and all the events we are planning
for a fun year. If there is anything you would like to have me present to the board please feel
free to email me at sykes911@yahoo.com. The first event coming up is the Re-Up Party which
will be held on January 11 at 7:00 at Babs McDance. The meal is going to be catered by Middle
of the Island. There will be two meats, three vegetables, and dessert. The cost for current members is $5.00 and the cost for guests and new members applying that night will be $6.00.
Please invite all your friends to this party. Joey Warren will be the DJ. I need a head count by
January 9, 2014. Contact Connie or me (see contact information on the next page). Let’s make
this a GREAT event!
Our first board meeting will be held on January 2, at 6:30 at Pat Ellis’s and Bob Cancro’s residence. Board meetings are open to club members. Anyone wishing to attend this meeting
should please let me know so we can be sure to have room for everyone.
The February meeting will also be at Babs McDance—on February 8, 2014. That night we will
discuss where our future meetings will be held, as our contract with Babs expires in March. If
you have venues in mind you would like us to consider, you may contact any board member.
I am happy to announce we have some eager and motivated board members and chairpersons
for the coming year. Their names and contact information follows on the next page. Some of
them are sure to be calling on you for help—let’s make this every member’s club!
Everyone have a safe and Happy New Year’s Eve...see you January 11, 2014 to “Shag the
night away!”
