Hey Everyone –

Well, another Monday night and Larr and I are sitting here yet again watching our favorite trash reality TV - Operation Repo” I’ve written about this show in the past and let’s just say, it is our one ‘trash indulgence” - the stories and drama of it all are quite riveting. As they say in the show, ‘it ain’t no joke, if you don’t pay that note!” And, on that note (ha!)… if you have not paid your dues for this year, please “due” so as soon as you can. I know there were a bit of issues with online payment, but those have all been resolved.

Since I last wrote, we’ve had a couple well attended events. The annual Holiday Party was a great time - Larry and I really enjoy hosting this event each year! We even had a few visitors attend from Michiana region. As usual, the place was packed with plenty of men with a lot of laughter and discussion on board! Our thanks goes out to all who contributed to make it a wonderful event and a perfect way to kick off the holiday season!

In January, we had a first time event for our region (well, at least as far as I know!) – we went bowling!! Oh my… what a hysterical and wonderful event – 35 plus Lambda folks bowling up a storm at the Diversey River/Rock-N-Roll Bowl!! We all laughed, joked and hung out for so much fun! By all indications, we will do this event again – people really had a great time – take a look at the pictures later in this issue!

In February, we are getting together at Scott Doherty’s place for the Auto Show After Glow and in March, we have our annual dinner at Wishbone in Berwyn. Both are always great fun - please be sure to attend! Thanks Scott and Jim for organizing those events!

Earlier this month, I sent out a reminder message for the Grand Invitational being hosted in Detroit. If you have not been to a grand invitational, please consider attending Detroit. Grand Invitationals are indeed “grand” and are the high point of the year’s activities at the National club level. Lots of work and dedication go into these and it would be great to have a very strong showing from our region at the Grand. Please check out the website and register to attend: http://Motown2010.com
