Happy New Year to everyone! I would like to thank everyone who came to the Holiday Party. The party was outstanding and special thanks to those of you who worked to make it the success that it was. We are already planning next year’s party and it will be on December 7, 2024 and we will be back to the IT Parker facility. Mark your calendars.

As you know, the elections were held at the December meeting and I’m happy to report that we have some new blood on the Eboard. I think with the new people we will get some fresh ideas that will benefit all of us.

I am looking forward to the January meeting and our annual wacky gift exchange. Please bring a wrapped gift. The gift should be comical (wacky) or something nice. Please remember that wacky doesn’t mean junk. Try to bring something that you yourself would be happy to receive. Wear your holiday finery such as ugly Christmas sweaters and or Santa hats etc. This should make for some great Kodak moments.

We have a lot of fun activities on the calendar so check them out and join us. We always seem to have a lot of fun together. Keep in mind that you must be a member to take part in these activities so if you haven’t already paid your dues for 2024 please do so. Our dues are quite the bargain. Even though everything else has gone up in price, our dues have remained the same for at least the past twelve years.

Once again I would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year.

Jeff Raffa
