We
had nice weather and a great turnout on January 16 for the annual Dudes 'n'
Divas Dinner at Palm
Court Restaurant
in Arlington Heights . Thirty-six people
enjoyed the ambiance of a "private" room. Tom Bruin supplied red wine
for the tables. Those with January birthdays wore hats or crowns and the group
sang to them. The Board gave each lady a pink rose which Pete and Marylu Kramer
distributed at the end of the meal. Once again, this was a terrific way to
shake off the post-holiday doldrums and get together with great friends. Thank
you to Ken and Kathy Smizinski for planning it.
In
attendance were: Lee & Gina Bakakos, Bill & Jane Balogh, Tom & Judy Bruin, Laura
& Mike Cielenski, Joe & Barb Esdale, Joel Greenberg & Annie
Luginbill, Gail Hascek, Larry & Karen Kelly, Len & Mary Keil, Pete
