ROCKWELL/BOEING RETIREES’ CLUB – GEORGIA CHAPTER
2012 Newsletter
JANUARY, FEBRUARY, MARCH
Carolyn Goodrich, Secretary/Treasurer
I hope you had a Happy Holiday!
NOTE 1: Important; when headcount is required for many of the meetings at Northwood Country Club we need an actual count. It seems in the past that some folks have said they would attend and then didn’t show. As it turns out the money for these meals were paid for by a retiree. This is not right and the Club can’t afford to do this. So PLEASE when you are called by your calling committee caller and you say yes, and you don’t show up, we will bill you for the amount of your meal. Thanks!
NOTE 2: Your new officers for 2012 are as follows: President – no VP; to be determined at next meeting. Secretary/Treasurer – Carolyn Goodrich; Calling Committee Chairman – Carl Bates; Sunshine Chairman – Sally Leach.
NOTE 3: Our beloved retirees who past away in 2011.
Castle, Marcia Fox, Gerry Gilbertson, Maxine Muldowney, Margaret Neibler, George Perry, Pat Smithyman, Jean
Following are the 2012 activities that the members created.
