    Club News

Thank You Steve Kaity  for taking notes for this week's Rotator!

 

      Just had a call from Santa confirming his appearance at our Holiday Party to be held at the Cape Ann Bowling Lanes..  Santa has made a small request - in order to make the evening a memorable one for  children and for parents taking pictures, Santa need a "bigger than life" chair for Santa to put his "curvy butt" in, and to also hold the weight of Santa and a child.  The chair need to be borrowed for one evening only.  I am asking members to search their attics, homes, or places of worship for just such a chair.  Remember, the bigger the better!

      Joanne Carbone and Alex Delis are Santa's Elves, planning this year's party.  Ink in the date -December 15, from 6:00 PM to 8:30 PM.  More details will follow.
