December 2024

Our December get-together was two weeks earlier than usual (December 17^th) to avoid any conflict with Christmas and New Year’s Eve.  We had a great turnout with 16 people and a new couple, Thom and Paula Watkins.  The group was so large that we had to use two complete tables.  What a great time. Our January 2025 event will be back on the usual last Tuesday of the month (January 28^th) at 3:00 at Jack’s in Pleasant Hill.

Everyone is welcome and we hope to see some new faces and smiles at the Mixers.  Please contact Ray de Wit (raydewit11@gmail.com) or Alan Curtis (alancurtis@sbcglobal.net) for information and to reserve a spot.  All are welcome (spouses, significant others, or guests), so watch for information on upcoming events.

November 2024

What a great crowd for our November event (see picture below).  We had 14 show up including two new couples, the Dominguez’s and the Peckham’s.  Great to have new members and hopefully more will join the festivities.  Our December get-together will be a week earlier than usual (December 17^th) to avoid any conflict with Christmas.  Our January 2025 event will be back on the usual last Tuesday of the month (January 28^th) at 3:00 at Jack’s in Pleasant Hill.

September 2024

On a hot September afternoon, Jack’s once again accommodated us inside instead of being on the patio.  We had a great turnout of 13 and as always discussions were interesting and laughter and fun abounded.

August 2024

On a hot August afternoon, we moved inside instead of being on the patio.  Unfortunately, that precluded two of our couples, who bring their puppies along, from staying.  Our small group still had a great time and it was nice to have Lynn Crowley back with us.  Our get-togethers are always on the last Tuesday of every month) at 3:00 pm at Jack’s in Pleasant Hill.  Our September get-together on the 24^th will have occurred prior to Hotline publication, so let’s see everyone at our October function on the 29^th.
