Hope that everybody had a happy and healthy Thanksgiving. There
certainly is a whole lot to be thankful for this year. I am certainly
grateful for the opportunity to serve you as the Vice-President of

and we have more events on the horizon. Just a quick reminder of a
few of our upcoming events:
Comedy night will be coming to the Lyric: On Saturday, May
24 we will be hosting two (2) back to back comedy shows at the Lyric
Theatre. We will be presenting professional comedians, and all
proceeds raised will benefit Leadership. We anticipate lots of smiles
and lots of laughter! Please feel free to contact myself if you are interested in joining
us as a sponsor. [email protected]
Benihana is back: After such a successful event last year, we will again be hosting
the Benihana “Celebrity Chef” function. Please let us know if you are interested in
