I hope this newsletter finds everyone well and looking forward for the coming year.

An important note: the November meeting is November 18, 2025. That is the third Tuesday of November.

As always, the Christmas Party was a great time. Lots of reminiscing with old friends and the food was very good. Santa and his Elf were very pleased with the generosity of everyone. You made many children very happy. I liked the new room and vote to reserve it for this year. Bruce Smyth made a display of pictures for all to enjoy: 2024 Christmas Party Photo Gallery

We currently have no speaker for our April 8, 2025 meeting. We are still working on it. Our pizza party will be held at our June 10, 2025 meeting. The speaker is to be announced.

If you have not signed up on our e-mail list yet, it will be at the front table during the next meeting. Mark Monroe is looking for more stores for “Story Time.” If anyone has an idea for how to possibly make our meetings better, please let us know.

Our thought of the day is from Maya Angelou: “Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take but by the moments that take our breath away.”

I would like to thank everyone for their time.

See you all at the next General Meeting.

Richard Goodell, President Local 170 Retirees Chapter Club
