Message from Dennis Franklin President Fred, the owner of Nemoe s Tavern, came to me Saturday night with a concern. He found an airplane size bottle of vodka half empty by the stage. He was certain that it wasn t there before our gathering. I would like to remind all of us that Fred runs a business and needs to make a profit. If he doesn t stay in business, we lose an excellent place to dance. Please do your part to make our club so important to Fred. He can t make it without us. I appreciate your help.
