An accident or mishap is an unforeseen and unplanned event or circumstance, often with lack of intention or necessity. That’s what happened to me when I fell & had to have knee surgery. It did necessitate a “stand-in” for the July General Meeting! Thank you to Dick Cattelona for his able assistance and to many others for their help & good wishes. The Club is surviving our Florida summer with well attended Friday Nite dinners, successful Birthday Celebrations & many Bocce players enjoying the new patio tables. We are all looking forward to the Pig Roast this month & to the many planned events for the upcoming season. Remember that “involvement equals enjoyment”! Your help is always appreciated. Be careful & stay safe! Ciao, Bruce
Ingrid & Sal Trofi went last year too. They already have their tickets
for this year! Join them & get yours soon!
