After a wonderful Summer, and recovering from Hurricane, The Men’s Group hit the ground running with our first October Meeting. Dick Hayes led the meeting, with VP John Donahue, and new Treasurer John Spada, Bob Autilio has stepped down as Secretary and we are looking for someone to fill his shoes. Some topics addressed were, the Pool Lunch times to start at 11:00 and end at 1:00pm and adding to the menu having Double Burger, Sausage, or Hotdog with Chips & Soda for $8. Also, WWII Veteran’s will receive Lunch for Free at our events. We discussed getting new Polo Shirts and Bob Seeley will present the Designs for a vote in November. We will Investigate getting a Marque display for the LF Community. We discussed idea’s for using Veterans Funds for the future.
We then had our first Pancake breakfast where everyone who attended was paid for by and anonymous donor, who wanted to do it for everyone going through the Hurricane after math. Thank you, everyone enjoyed it and we were lucky to have it with all the issues in the clubhouse after the storm.
We continued our Pool Side Lunches with two since our last article, one was pushed back a week waiting for the Pool to officially reopen, and Novembers today. Huge thank you to the team that puts in the time and effort, November 13th event we sold out on everything. Looks like we need to make bigger orders before the event. So many people have been so nice in coming out to enjoy the sun, pool, and the fellowship.
Very impressed at the job the men did supporting at the Craft fair this year, for Set-up, to Start-up, to Doughnuts and Coffee, then directly into Hot dogs chip & Soda, then to the big clean up at the end. I hope all the crafters enjoyed it as well as all those that attended it.
Special thanks to have the leadership of Dick Hayes back with us again.
This last 2 weeks we are also busy getting ready for the Thanksgiving Dinner for Nov 24th, Joan Robertson has been selling and collecting all the information for the tickets, seating, and dishes to pass. I am sure we will have a big turn out as we are getting 20 2o pound Turkey and signing up volunteers before the big event, of which we will already ate all the Turkey by the time you read this.
For December we want to invite everyone to join us for the December 17th Pancake Breakfast and December 20th Tuesday night meeting. To be sure we will announce the next Pool side lunch as we get into December.

Sincerely Your Board,
Dick Hayes, John Donahue, and John Spada.
