More January Events

We would like to continue the tradition of meeting at the Alexis Nihon for coffee & treats that was started by our Past President, Cheryl Braganza, in January 2016. Our first coffee gathering will be this Tuesday, Jan. 23, 2018 from 2pm to 3:30pm at the same place, outside the food court and Winners on the second floor of Alexis Nihon. Maybe we can catch a "cheapie Tuesday" movie as well. Hope to see you there!
