After a discussion with the ATTENDEE’S last week, we are trying a new method of
selecting the next EVENT site. We will make a list of suggestions and a VOTE will be
taken while at dinner.  Hopefully this method will please the one or two classmates who have expressed  “Un-Happy” comments about the past selections!   Please remember there is no way to make EVERYONE happy so if you want to help make a future decision, Be There and Vote! Suggestions were: Steak n Shake on M.I.
Leah’s Bistro, Cocoa   Jimmy’s, Rockledge Thai Thai, Cocoa

The majority vote for the JUNE 9th event was for: “Jimmy’s”  in Rockledge 🙂

thought they were a great rock n roll couple!   Sigh!   Wimper!   Sob!
