President’s Message

Greetings Brothers: February may be the shortest month in terms of days (only 29 days this month) but there is no shortage of # 32 “goings on”. Check the calendar to your right and see what is in store for you this month.

Plan to make it to the Valentines Social Dinner on February 25th and please be sure to RSVP by February 15th as only reserved guests will be accepted at the door. This will be a very special night with entertainment provided by ‘The Fault Line A Cappella Chorus’. For the very low price of $ 20.00 enjoy a rack of lamb dinner prepared by Br. Ron Guaraldi. In the past, for the Valentines Dinner we’ve had 100 dinners served – so get your reservations in early. We’d love to see you! It’s a night you don’t want to miss.

It is not too early to start thinking about being a delegate for the Grand Council Sessions to be held in Santa Rosa on June 20-22. Our Council can send up to 6 delegates to the sessions. If you haven’t attended the sessions before this would be a great opportunity to learn more about the YMI. It is a chance to get involved while meeting other brothers from California, Indiana, and Hawaii. If you would like to find out about being a delegate this year check with me or Br. Tom Fourie. We will give you all the details. Speaking of the Grand Council Sessions the Grand Council is asking for your ideas for improvement or change. Please be aware you have an important role in the future of our YMI. At our next business meeting bring your ideas on how the YMI can improve.
