Joanne Santiago was happy to be celebrating the 50th anniversary of her chiropractic graduation. She was also happy for the sales training she received to help sell ads for the golf tournament.
Johnny Guillot was happy to have rented a house in East Haven to enjoy with his daughters and their families. He and his grandson had a great walk on the beach. The grandson was wearing a T-shirt with a message – “Big Brother.” It took Johnny awhile to realize that a new member of the family is expected. His other daughter wanted to go on a seven-mile trail run. He followed on his mountain bike. He quit at five miles near a boat rental place. He didn’t realize the business would be closed, and he could have been trapped inside a locked gate. Fortunately he was allowed to get out.
Chris Lamadrid predicted that the golf tournament would be a tremendous success. Members and especially the golf committee have worked very hard. That is more the measure than the dollars raised. She appreciated the leadership of Colleen Sullivan and Sue Budde which she described as joyful, informed, and transparent. She was impressed by the new members Cat Pellino, Loren Clarke, and Bill Budde, among others. Chris was impressed by the good spirit and camaraderie.
Gary Miller was happy about the new membership brochures prepared for the upcoming recruitment party. He thinks it will be good for selling ads and attracting new members. Thanks to his daughter, the brochure can be updated as needed. Bob Cave thanked Gary for his efforts.

Peter Vignati was also celebrating an anniversary.

Sue Budde was happy to learn that husband Bill’s cancer is stable. She was also happy that the golf tournament was nearly over. Not bad for two women – Sue and Colleen – who claim to know nothing about golf. She thanked Gary Miller, Gary Hyde, and Phil Ferrari for their help and predicted the tournament would be great.
Past president Luke was happy to be at the meeting. This baby business must be tough: a few gray hairs have popped up. He thanked members for their cards and notes after his son’s birth. Liam Joseph was born on July 18. He is good and sleeps from 11:00 to 5:30. Luke had some certificates for members who were not at the President’s Dinner. The certificates recognized Michael Mezheritskiy for 10 years in the club and Linda Pendergast for 35 years. There was also a recognition for the service Ike Eickenhorst gives the club by coordinating the speakers for each meeting. He does all he can to make sure things go smoothly.
ADG Dave Tedeschi was happy to be at the meeting. He also brought a Halloween basket for the auction.
