We are
celebrating our 50th
year of service to our
community. Your Bridge and
Executive Committees have
worked hard to offer both a
variety and a number of
projects over the next few
months to help us celebrate
this significant milestone. To
this end, along with our
typical training we are
scheduling three General
Membership Meetings, the
annual Christmas Supper/Dance,
and three separate Rendezvous
opportunities.

are scheduled at the
Travelodge Silver Bridge Inn
in Duncan for the usual second

Graduation Ceremonies and the
pledging of new members will
follow a short bridge meeting at

social with refreshments to
follow.

focus on member training
opportunities and include
local and Squadron personnel
