With regard to more formal club announcements, President Dave notified the club that both Laura Floyd, current director of East Hartford YMCA, and Minerva Gomez, retired hotelier, have been approved by the board for club membership. This is the second publication of their names as required by our club bylaws. If anyone has any reason to object to their joining our club, please get in touch with Dave immediately.
Dave also let us know that Anwar Hossain will be joining the club board as a director. We also learned that Jennifer Jones has had to resign from the club due to her changing jobs.
President Dave reminded us to visit our club’s website at
