President's Corner

Welcome to a new year. We have already enjoyed the first activity of the year, with the twelfth annual Senior Open and Luncheon on August 8th, thanks to the efforts of Jean Putmum, Don Schliesman, and many others who offered their services. We expect to once again sponsor a number of activities which we hope will be of interest to our fellow retirees. NaDine and I have had a busy summer, with trips to California, the Oregon Coast, British Columbia, Idaho, Utah, Nevada, and Arizona, to visit family and to leave some of our hard-earned money at the casinos in Las Vegas, etc. I'm sure the rest of you have been busy as well. We would be happy to include an account of your adventures; please send me the appropriate information me at the e-mail address below.

We enjoyed the First Friday Coffee on August 1, and remind you all that the tradi-tion will continue on the first Friday of each month at 9:30 at the Dakota Café. Two of the regular participants in this activity, Gene and Laura Wilson, have recently moved to Richland. We wish them well in their new abode and hope that they will still find time to join us, at least oc-casionally, for First Friday.

If you would like to receive information by e-mail, please send me your address.
