I personally want to thank our entire club for truly defining the definition of service above self. Rib night was a complete success because we did it together as a team. Congratulations to alvin for being the organizer of the event and to all of our phenomenal Sponsors and wonderful guests, not to mention our hosts, Vazzy's, for making this night a special memory.
Our social gathering for the month of March will actually be held on April 1st at 5:30 pm at the Riverview Bistro. This will be a membership recruitment evening, and we ask each club member to bring one new guest. This event will be shared with our fellow clubs from Bridgeport, Devon Milford, and Orange. There is no initial cost to the event; there will be passed hors d'oeuvres, a cash bar, fun fellowship, and music.
