Allen and I spent almost 2 weeks in Boston with our children where it was cold, although often not as cold as here, and snowed for the first time the day after we left. So that worked out great. Again - BIG THANKS - to Dar and Jo for hosting a fantastic holiday party. Almost all of us were able to attend and I think we'd agree there wasn't anything we would change. This year is starting with a bang. A special thanks goes to Mary Taverna and Robin Crosby for scheduling and being related to our fantastic speaker last week. At that meeting we also heard about Casino Night. Thanks to Mary Luciano and her team for getting us where we are. We are securing sponsors, marketing the event, selling tickets, and continuing to get ready. It s looking like it will be a huge success. We are in the process of kicking off both our BUGs Program and our K-Kids Program at C.C. Coppin. We ll get out more information on both shortly. If you ve signed up, we ll be reaching out to you. If you re interested let us know. Finally, our succession process is starting. We will be electing new officers and two new board members. Roger Cook is leading the effort. If you are interested in running for office (President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer) or being a Director please let him know.
