Editor's COMMENTS:

There will be more detailed accounts of the above news items, and how we fared with The Ball & Auction. Thank You notes will be sent to non-members that attended- I may need help in getting names and contact info.  The electronic version of The Sentinel is not intended to replace the hard copy of The Sentinel, but to get the basic club news to members in a timely fashion, also it will serve to allow members free shots at the Editor’s errors without shots being returned.
