MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT Thanks to all the great cooks for making the St. Patrick’s dinner a success, as usual. We had more than enough to eat and then Ed Nadeau did his usual great job of supplying music for those who wished to dance. We are having a raffle for a beautiful painting done by Bette MacDonald. Tickets being sold at various functions for $1 per ticket or 10 tickets for $5. Drawing will be at the dance in April. The next raffle will be for two wooden corner shelves made by Mario Cellini. Please be sure to attend the next Association Meeting on April 3rd. There will be a guest speaker from the Crime Prevention Task Force. They were here last year and very informative. Focus will be on identity theft, scams, purse snatching, guns and alternative weapons, hurricane safety, carjacking and much more. The program will last about 30 minutes and allow time for questions. I’d like to urge everyone to attend. Refreshments will be served. Finally, the Farmer’s Market is a success and will continue weekly as long as our support continues. During the summer time will be cut to one hour. The hot dog sales are still a success, with a profit of over $140, so keep eating those dogs. Terry Morrow
