PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

Dear Faculty and Friends Club members and participants,

Hope to see you all at the Faculty and Friends Club Holiday Party at 6 p.m. on Saturday, December 6th. It is a special time for everyone and especially for club members. The Dorothy B. Oven Park is lovely and will put anyone in the holiday mood. It would be great if every member could invite to the Holiday Party one friend who might be interested in membership in our special group. We’re always interested in expanding our membership, and this is a perfect way to do so.

Happy holidays.
Carol Weissert
