President Corner: August 2015

Hello members & friends,

I am very exciting that we are now half way of year!! We have a lot of things to do before winter comes!  I believe our membership has grown and teamwork has been stronger.  I am looking forward to more events coming up for remaining of 5 month.

I am sure you all have been on vacation, or spending time with your family as its summer time.  I am proud to say that Angel, my wife just gave a birth to baby boy, Jasper James last June 26th, he is doing extremely well.  We are enjoying every moment with our son!  congrats to others who are currently pregnant or gave a birth.  Kids are wonderful and our future generation for our club!!!!

The (POS) Point of sale cashier has arrived last June 1st and we have been using it and love it!  We currently can use credit or debit on that machine.  Stop by and enjoy chatting with your friends!

It is a reminder to renew your 2015 membership dues to keep us with our club’s expenses and please see Alex Lemanski,

Please try to attend PAD and GPCCD events in future.  Come and see our new face of friends. Please try to come our active meeting on August 8, September 12, and October 10 at 7:30 PM. Let’s join us, to discuss about improving our club needs, How to attract new members, and share your ideas for our fund- raising plans.
