Presidents' message

A very Happy Halloween and Happy Thanksgiving, Newcomers! Lots of opportunities for parties this month, and the holidays are right around the corner! Don’t forget the always popular Festival of Lights parade the Sunday after Thanksgiving; get a spot early.
We didn’t have a TGIF in October, but the next TGIF will be at the Los Altos Town Hall on November 20.
We will be having a holiday lunch December 9 at Café Vitale, so save the date! The invite is below.
Other activities such as investment club, mah-jongg, legacies, and bridge will proceed as usual.
We are still having our board meetings in person; join us November 12 at the Los Altos Community Center. Note that the time is 11:00 am. Everyone is welcome!
