PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

This has been one of the busiest weeks of the year.  My thanks to all who volunteered at the Fair helping us raise money for the children's shopping spree.  I also want to thank all who helped build our Veteran's Day parade float and those who participated in the parade.  I believe it is the best one yet!

 

SALUTE, our Veteran's Day tribute and picnic at Metropolitan Park was carried out beautifully.  The music, weather and refreshments could not have been better.  As always our SBMC family is there when needed and we had plenty of volunteers.  I would like to thank everyone who helped make this day a success and especially Gene Maszy for his vision,  planning and execution of this world class inaugural event.  Of course none of it would have been possible without our sponsors both corporate and VIP; THANK YOU!

 

This week we say thank you to the men and women who protect our streets, property and lives.  Please plan to be at this week's meeting as we honor our police and firefighters.

 

See you Wednesday,

 

Ken
