Hello Everyone! NEWS FROM YOUR SENIOR REGENT 5 First of all I would like to invite you ladies out to our College of Regents Activity night on November 1st at 7:00 p.m. We will be honoring Mary Verbeten for recently receiving this honor and Debbie Keslov on achieving her red stole with a dinner to follow the meeting. Membership retention week is November 6-12th! Be sure to check out the website at www.kenoshamoose286.com and watch for email blasts for current updates and information. It is a proven fact that it is easier to sign new members than it is to retain them so let's all do our best to give our members a reason to stay and of course have fun! In closing I would like to congratulate Joyce (JJ) Perry for being chosen as our November volunteer of the month. Our volunteers are very special because without them nothing would get accomplished.
