The Christmas Season has come again, and with it, a limited Friday lunch schedule at Right Angle, as we focus in on our family and friends, as well as our Christmas Dinner!
As the season of giving gets us thinking of those special to us; I think that we as members should think about the prior or current member(s) who encouraged us to get involved with Right Angle. They must have appreciated something about our club which encouraged them to invite us to join. I hope that you will spend some time this month reflecting on why you are a member, and what about the membership you could share with other people you know.
Please send any club member news, pictures or other announcements, to rightangle1922@gmail.com and it will be included in the monthly newsletter.
