Special thanks to Dr. Paul Matthews of S.S. Steiner & Co., who sponsored the food and drinks at the breaks and permitted us to reduce the registration fee to $20 per person.
Next year’s meeting date and location have not yet been determined, but it will probably be sometime in the spring of 2009.
Thanks also to the following individuals who assisted in preparing for and running the meeting: Mrs. Paula Zinnanti, Mrs. Shirley Komansky, Ms. Virginia Briguglio, Ms. Pauline Gould, Ms. Jennifer Ingenito, Mr. David Chau, Mr. Francis Onwochei, Mr. Joseph Pinkhas, Mr. Alex Sanchez, Mr. Michael Buls, Mr. Michael McLeod, Ms. Pamela Borchetta, Ms. Muriel Herring, and Ms. Terryann Joseph.
