Thanks to all who SPONSORED, helped with and participated in last month’s activities. We had a lot of fun, strengthened friendships and met new friends at several memorable activities.

Last Month’s Activities: At the beginning of January, members enjoyed seeing a beautiful sunset while we walked along the beach at Del Mar and then sharing a wonderful meal together at Jake’s. Later in the month, we visited Carlsbad and had a reasonably priced but superior meal while listening to/singing along with a Bavarian accordian player. We had a rousing time!

Membership Renewal: DON’T FORGET TO RENEW YOUR MEMBERSHIP. CHECK YOUR MAILING LABEL; IF YOUR EXPIRATION DATE IS BEFORE 2/07, PLEASE RENEW SOON. Guests are welcome to our events; please invite your friends!
