This is something that we all have been looking forward to for awhile now. There has been a committee working on plans for the outside patio. I am looking forward, as I know you are, to being able to sit outside and socialize this Summer. I want to thank everyone that helped with the fundraisers for the patio furniture whether you helped with the meals or came and ate. Either way you helped raise funds for the patio project. I want to express my appreciation to those that have been coming to the Trustee Meetings with suggestions. This has been very beneficial, giving us some good ideas to work through. This Summer we are planning to host Rock N the Plaza again. The club will be the main organizer of these events. Mark your calendars for the last Friday evening in June, July, and August. Bands are being confirmed at this time. Hope to see you there! President Joe Small Sincerely, Joe Small Worthy President 1
