BIRTHDAYS President s Message Feb: Dianne Roden =1 Feb: Herman Schultz =4 Hi everyone: The meeting at Traxx's Feb: Keith Zimmerman =21 was great. It was wonderful to see Harry again and boy does he look fabulous. We had 13 people for the lunch and since not everyone was there did not discuss a whole lot. We have decided we need to go more and the thought was of doing more around the area. So, with that in mind I am thinking we all get together and go for the Cloverdale show in September. There are great things to do and see right in our own back yard so let's go see and do. Next month we will be meeting at Adel's in Healdsburg on the 11th of March at 12:00 noon. Weather permitting we will then cruise out to the Dam, just to make sure our spillway is in order. Please R.S.V.P. by March 7th. Thank You and hope to see all of you then. Happy upcoming Saint Patrick s Day Pat Arieta, T.O.S. Notes from the Editor, As all of you know I have been experiencing some health issues the last few months that hit us fast and hard. The good news is that my surgery was successful and I m on the mend. I ll be starting chemotherapy in March with a positive outlook to the future and being cancer free.
