WHAT'S BEEN HAPPENING
If you missed the June 2008 summer
party you missed a terrific evening. Richard Bernstein, our web master
explained and demonstrated the website and those attending had a chance
to obtain their personal pass word. Everyone at the party had his or her
picture done by an artist as a souvenir of the evening. The party was
held at Carlo of Boca a new Italian restaurant in the Publix shopping
center, and we’ve been told that the food was delicious. Please keep
checking Events on the web site to see future activities that we are
planning. The date for ordering discount tickets to Sunset Productions
FAU programs has past. We hope you took advantage of the $20.00 per
couple savings, and that we’ll see at the theater in the fall.
