PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

This week we welcomed Matt Carlucci of the City Council. Matt took the time to speak to us about the club's history and what being a member means to him as well as updating us on the strides being made downtown and, of course, the Lot J vote. Our speaker this week will be Cheryl Canzanella.

We will be having our next member social, a member hangout, this week and I encourage all members, but especially new members to come out as a way to meet your fellow members in a less formal setting.
