Well, here we go again.  As you are aware, our area took a direct hit from Hurricane Milton.  We hope that you and yours are safe and sound and that you didn’t suffer too much damage from this storm.

We have decided to postpone the “Third Wednesday” lunch meeting to October 30th.  We will still meet at Der Dutchman at 11:30 for networking, meeting at noon.

Hope to see you there.  Be safe during your clean ups!
