Greetings Friends,
As the lazy days of summer roll out, the Society will take a short hiatus to plan and schedule events for the coming year.
We will reconvene to celebrate at the annual picnic to be held on Sunday, Sept. 8 th and share the news of exciting upcoming events.
We hope you will join with us then to meet with friends and colleagues and learn of our plans for the fall. See you then and have a safe and sun-filled summer.
Joanne Rajoppi
President
