Looking Forward December
Can you believe 2024 is nearing its end? We’ve had a year full of fun and we’ll be wrapping it up with the club Christmas party on Saturday, December 7. I’m really looking forward to seeing all of you at the Confluence Church gym for a night of festivities, a perfect way to celebrate all we’ve accomplished this year.
Don’t forget, we’ll be meeting at Mel’s in Auburn at 7:30 AM on the 28th for breakfast, followed by a fox hunt at 9:00 AM. Hopefully you’ve kept your appetite after all the parties and gatherings and can join us for great food and social time.
It’s been an honor serving as the club vice president, and I look forward to an awesome 2025.
Wishing you all a wonderful holiday season,
Jim Zheng
