Reminder - Toms River OCWLS Meeting Friday, November 7th

Just a reminder that next Friday, November 7^th will be our regularly scheduled meeting of the Toms River OCWLS Support Group at Community Medical Center at 7pm in Aud. A.

 

Additionally, as decided at our last meeting, we are asking some of the “old-timers” (further out than two years) to volunteer to suggest an agenda and facilitate a meeting to change things up a bit.  Please let me know what month you would like to facilitate the meeting, and what your topic will be.  Thank you for your help and cooperation in this!

 

Also, if you have not already replied to me to tell me to KEEP you on the distribution list, your name and e-mail will be DELETED after this next meeting.

 

One other thing, which is an open invitation to all – after the Toms River meeting on November 7^th, I am heading down to High Velocity in Beachwood to hear my favorite local band “Shorty Long and the Jersey Horns” – so if anyone would like to come out with me afterwards, I would welcome the company.  High Velocity has a nice sized dance floor and a superior sound system, or you could just sit in a chair and enjoy the music and the people-watching!  Let me know if you would like to join me that night – family and friends are welcome too!  The more the merrier.
