SULLIVAN LEISURE TIME CLUB SPRING EDITION 2016 Hi LTC Members! Spring is finally here we hope! Thank you for your support of our programs. After a lot of number crunching and debate, the officers and the planning Committee have come to realize that we must raise the price of our luncheons from $5.00 for members to $8.00, and from $10.00 for guests to $13.00. This extra $3.00 will really help us stay solvent for the next couple of years. We are also forced to raise our dues to $10.00 per person starting in 2017. We hope this small increase will not deter you from attending. We are not out to make a profit, only to break even. I really hope to see many of you at our activities during the course of the season. President Theresa. ROBIN S ANNOUNCEMENTS Thank you for your cards and letters sent while I was out on medical leave and also THANKS to the LTC for the surprise party on my birthday!
