PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

Last week we had John Palumbo telling us stories of some of his adventures from around the Globe, and really focusing on 'Plan B'.  It was informative, and entertaining, everyone enjoyed it as far as I can tell.

 

We have so much coming up in the next couple of months, with
the next Meet a Member being on August 8th at Marywood, followed by the River Cruise a couple of weeks later, a Clay Shoot after that, and the SBMC Cruise!  Lots going on.

 

This week we have none other than Curtis Dvorak, better known as Jaxson DeVille from the Jaguars!  Funny guy, he will not be in costume, but will be very entertaining!

 

Bring your guests, and we'll see you Wednesday!
