Hi Everyone

Well January was a busy month for our club.  Our Tuesdays and Fridays continue to do well

Our Anew Year’s Eve part was fantastic.  The decorations were s sight to see.  The club hasn’t look so good in a long time thanks to Mickey and her entire committee.  The food was wonderful thanks to Chef Dan, sous chef Paul and the entire wait staff. It took all week long to get everything coordinated so that all the food was prepared and ready to go on time. And that took a lot of help.  So thanks to everyone who participated in making this a night to remember.

January 21^st was our Mock Wedding.  If you didn’t attend, you missed a great show.  Thanks again to Mickey and her committee for the wonderful decorations. (The centerpieces were slightly dead flowers) The bridal party was hilarious.  Everyone who participated had a great time.  Special thanks to Roe Barletta, who was in charge of organizing the entire cast for this great night.

I reported some of our finances last month.  It would like to report that results as of the year ending December 31, 2011.  As of that date we have a surplus of $26,888.00.  That’s not bad considering 2 years ago in 2009 we starting with a minus of $2000.00.  It just proves that our club is doing very well thanks to all our board members and all our volunteers. We also initiated 22 new members at our last meeting.  Welcome to all.

A new dress code has been adopted.  No one over the age of 12 will be allowed in the club on Friday nights wearing shorts or T-shirts.  This is for Friday only.  Shorts & T-shirts will be allowed on Tuesday nights.  No exceptions. This will be strictly enforced.

Also when running a tab at the bar, you must give the bartender either a credit card, driver’s license, or membership card to hold until the tab is paid.  

Please remember, when ordering food, the order must be placed on Monday and picked up on Friday.  No one is to go directly to the Chef to order food.  The order must go thru the office and paid when food is picked up.  No exceptions.

Our dues are now due.  If you haven’t already paid, please do so as soon as possible.

February 11^th is our Valentine’s Day Dinner Dance.  If you haven’t bought your tickets, better do so soon, as this promises to be a sellout.

Our next bus trip is March 1^st.  We will be going to the Hard Rock Casino.  Tickets are $35.00 and you will receive $25.00 in free play and a $5.00 food voucher.  We have a continental breakfast at the club at 8:00 AM and the bus leaves promptly at 9 AM.  We leave the casino to return home at 5:30 PM.  Tickets are going fast so see Maria Woodward if you would like to join us.  We have a 50/50 on the bus and we also play Bingo so there’s a chance you can win money before we even get to the Casino.

March 10th is our St. Joseph’s Dinner Dance.   Tickets will be on sale soon.  This also promises to be a sellout, so don’t miss out on the fun.  Get your tickets early.

See you all soon.  Until then, stay well and God Bless
