First I’d like to say a huge “Grazie” to all the members for their help & kind
words since my knee surgery last month. The efforts of many are appreciated
by everyone. A meeting of the Friday Nite volunteers produced some good feedback & generated ideas designed to improve
the way we do business. Our happy workers lead to a great dining experience for our patrons who return often & bring their
friends! If you haven’t come in for dinner in awhile, come on down before the Snowbirds get back! If you weren’t at the Pig
Roast, you missed out on another superb event! Our upcoming calendar has many opportunities to join in the fun & get to
know your fellow members. We have a great facility, active schedule, willing helpers & suggest you mark your calendars in
advance so you don’t miss out on the future events. It promises to be another successful season! Ciao, Bruce
