The next RIF is scheduled for Wednesday, October 25th (date of this publication) at Elm Street School from 1:45 to 2:45pm. At press time; Joe Adrignola, Kathy Calvin, Sue Laramee, and Officer Don Kimtus were signed up to participate.Thanks to "my crew."

We do need to fill the vacancy on the board of directors created by Nancy's resignation from the club. If you'd like to be on the board, please let a member of the board know. If you'd like to nominate someone, please let a member of the board know. If neither one of these things happen, the board will appoint a member to fill the seat. Nominations and interested parties will be addressed at the meeting of 10/30, should there be any. The board will appoint someone at the meeting of November 6th should there not be any.Update on Peter Karagianis:
The report is that he is doing fine and should be back with us soon. In other words....Happy Jack has been Crappy Jack lately, but is back to being Happy Jack again. We are glad. Look forward to seeing you again, Peter.Roger Ballantyne Update:
No one seemed to have any recent information since the last meeting. That news was positive and in this particular instance, no news may in fact be good news. Stay Tuned...and keep "Spaceshot" in your thoughts and prayers. Thanks.Guest Speakers:
As we pointed out in the past...it should be easy enough to avoid double booking. However, Roger Landry has offered to coordinate scheduling and contact any potential guest speaker that you may come across. If there is someone you have in mind, let Roger know. If you feel comfortable enough, schedule them yourself. The schedule is usually a month out online at the bottom of the recent bulletin.50/50
