Old Business

100 Save around Coupon books were distributed and sold.  A check was cut to the company for $1,200.  Anyone who is still holding money for books that they sold should get the cash to Pete Murray.  Congratulations to the top sellers:  Ron Samson, Kevin D’Angelo and Tom Sciolino

The Christmas party was a success.  Special thanks to the guest bartender, Craig Anthony, who donated his “tip” money to our Adopt a Family.  On December 23^rd Dave Heer and Elaine James dropped off presents & gift cards to the family.  The family consisted of the Aunt, 3 teenagers she took in, their 8 year old sister, and 2 small children of the oldest teenager.  The family was most appreciative.
