51st INSTALLATION DINNER:
I thought this year we
would take a gamble with the installation dinner. It is going to be held at the
Mohegan Sun Casino. The date of the party is Saturday, May 30, 2009. The
festivities will begin at 6:30 with a half hour cocktail hour, with dinner
service beginning at 7:00. After dinner we will have the installation of
officers. Once we dispense with the formalities there will be dancing for those
who are interested, pleasant conversations with good friends and of course, for
others the slots will be calling. There is also a live band playing in
“Breakers“. There are plenty of things for non-gamblers to see and do. So I
hope you’ll take the chance and come to the Installation Dinner. I hope to see
you there. If your interested call Shari Miller 570-760-3872. LAST DAY FOR RESERVATIONS: FRIDAY,
05/22/2009.
