Greetings, Well, it's almost that time of year, again, the Capital District ACB chapter Christmas/holiday party! This year's party will take place on Friday evening, December 12, 2003, at 5:30 PM, at the Gateway Diner, at 899 Central Avenue, next to the Westgate Shopping Center, in Albany. There will be a grab-bag, for which people are requested to spend approximately five dollars for the grab-bag. You may, as usual, order, "Dutch treat", off of the Gateway Diner's extensive menu. Oh, I've been asked, by our chapter President, Kathy Farina, to inform everyone that we will have heat in the meeting room, for this event. We apologize for the lack of heat, during our November business meeting. There will be a brief business meeting, prior to the start of the actual party. All ACB members are reminded that dues for 2004 will be collected, by Kathy Casey, our chapter treasurer, during this meeting. Dues are $13.50, which includes local, State, and National dues. If you will not be attending the party, please contact Kathy Casey at 462-9487, or via E-Mail, at kcasey03@xxxxxxxxxxxx, to make arrangements to pay your dues. We look forward to your company on December 12th to join in some great holiday fun. Warmest holiday wishes, Frank Casey frcasey@xxxxxxxxxxxx
