Chapter B members will be gathering today at the Municipal Complex for their regularly scheduled monthly meeting. Please remember you have only one more month to renew your membership before your name is dropped from the list for this year. Cost of membership is $5 a fee well worth spending.
Tickets for a trip to Trenton with a visit to the Police Museum and state house plus a lunch at Merlino’s Waterfront restaurant will be on sale in March for a cost of $43. Also available will be tickets to our Spring Luncheon scheduled for April. To date, 110 members have signed up for the luncheon.
Next week a bus filled with our seniors will head down to Atlantic City for our yearly overnight trip. A stop at the delightful village of Smithsville will begin our two-day trip. Good luck to all, hope you all come back winners.
Here is another one of my useless facts: "On a Canadian two dollar bill, the flag flying over the Parliament building is an American Flag."
