I hope you and your families had a very Merry Christmas and a happy New Year. Our next meeting will be held on Friday, January 23rd. A great time was had by all at our special needs and family Christmas parties, kudos to all the volunteers who made the day possible. You should all be proud of your support of the Adopt-a-Family fund which once again took care of so many families this year.

Thank you to all of the members and their friends and families for their incredible support for the Annual Pot of Gold. Your incredible support this year is greatly appreciated. It affords us the opportunity to continue to support numerous charities as well as fund our scholarships. We could not have done this without the support of so many, you know who you are and you are to be commended for all of your hard work. Lastly we want to congratulate the winners of our prizes.
