Hey Everyone –

Happy... er, Holidays?!? Seriously…?

Our fall season in the club brought us three great events…  The always fabulous “There’s Something About Saugatuck” in September hosted by the Michiana Region, our annual Fall Drive to Southwest Michigan in October, hosted by Ron and Mario Zarantenello and our Halloween party hosted by Jeff Stockman and Michael Gendek. My thanks and appreciation goes out to the Michiana Region for all their efforts in pulling together such a fine event, to Ron and Mario for organizing a well run Fall Drive and to Jeff and Michael for a “ghoulishly” good time!

Also, on October 1, we had our first “official” kick-off meeting for the 2013 Grand Invitational. I was elated to see so many of you attend! We provided a glimpse of what it will take to organize and run this event and so many of you had excellent points and comments. The discussion was great and for those that attended, I hope you felt the meeting was worthwhile and that it gave you more of an idea of what we are setting out to do. For those of you that did not get a chance to attend, let me share a few highlights of the meeting:

  • I announced the co-chairs of the Grand – Mark Wasil and Bob Hotz. Both have graciously agreed to “steer the ship” for the event. I will also help with the “steering”, but Mark and Bob have the event under control!
  • We had an initial list of areas to help with along with sign up sheets where folks thought they most likely would be able to help. We are currently reviewing the lists and believe we will condense some of this “first draft” into a smaller number of areas.
  • The hotel and banquet contracts have been finalized and deposit has been paid! (There is no turning back now, boyz! J )
  • After the holidays, you can expect to hear more about the Grand. We also will start to have regular meetings to get the planning in motion. These certainly will be fun, so please don’t think “ugh…a meeting?!”  I promise you that there will be a lotta laughs and good times oh, and yea… a little bit of work too – nothing that we can not handle though!

Coming up is our annual Holiday Party on Saturday December 3 - I look forward to seeing you all there!  And as always….if you have a great idea for an event, let us know about it and we’ll work with you to get it on the calendar. Please check out our events page on our “refreshed” website http://www.lcclmr.org/events.html for details on all our events.

Until next time…

Eric...
