3 PRESIDENT S MESSAGE We ve had a nice warm September. Hopefully this warm weather will continue into October with just some color change on the trees.

Later in the month we are going to Romeo to visit Tillson Street which is a couple blocks of neighbors who decided to go all out having scary decorations. It always draws big crowds during the Halloween time of the year. Weather permitting we will have a bike ride before the tour. At the end of October we are having a Halloween Party at the Club Venetian. It will be only $15. Please contact Tom Scott if you are interested. More dances and parties will be offered in November.
