Lois Miller is organizing a Violette GTG (Get-Together) in Florida this winter - most probably in March, she says. Lois reports that more than a dozen members have responded so far, so the gathering should be a good one. If you would like to attend contact Lois directly by email (LAM_34669@yahoo.com) or phone (727-863-0667).

Dave and Elaine Violette are also inquiring about interest in a similar Violette Get-Together for those in Arizona this winter. The time and place is open at this time. Contact Dave by email (David@Violette.com) or phone (602-803-5615) if you are interested.

We have started using an email service - MailChimp - to distribute our eNewsletters because it offers a more robust system with features not yet available in our inhouse eNews handling system. Just as our inhouse system complied with the anti-spam requirements so also will this new one. Anyone receiving our eNewsletters with both systems can unsubscribe by clicking a link in the message, but with the new service people can also subscribe to our news as well. We encourage our members to forward our eNewsletters on to family members who are not members of the Association or who do not already receive the eNewsletters and they can then subscribe with just a click.
