Thursday will be our last dinner meeting of this calendar year at Quigley’s.  It seems  hard to believe that 2017 is almost over, and we’ll be ringing it out the following week (December 21) at our annual “Holiday Party & Gift Basket Silent Auction” at the Forth residence.

Please be sure to let Murray and Maggie know if you plan to attend the party and whether you’ll be bringing guests (kids count). Attendees also are asked to bring a small appetizer plate. SRC member Jim Mendrysa’s Talk of the Town catering service will provide the rest of the meal.

As to this week’s dinner meeting, fellow Rotarian Dawn Vavala, owner of Nite Owl Marketing and someone who has “dressed” many of us in Rotary-themed attire, will be paying a visit and showing off some new wares.

The dinner menu will feature Quigley’s popular ziti and meatballs, an antipasto salad, chef’s choice of side dish, bread, dessert, and beverages. And, the cash bar will be available.

As always, please be sure to let dinner coordinator Debbie Brown (mdbrown@nycap.rr.com) know no later than Tuesday evening if you plan to attend. The following members already have done so:
