Happy Thanksgiving to You and Yours!
I sincerely hope that you and all who gather with you to celebrate the holiday will have a lovely day on Thursday or Friday or Saturday since gatherings often occur over several days.

Our last official Friday weekly meeting of 2024 was last Friday on November 22. Our next Friday meeting will be held on January 10, 2025. At that time, the Lunch Bunch will begin collecting names for a January gathering they are in the process of planning. |

URGENT! URGENT! URGENT!
Today, November 25, is the VERY LAST DAY YOU MAY REGISTER FOR OUR December 4 Holiday Luncheon with your credit card on our website. Tomorrow, Social Chair, Nancy Stancill has to give Maggiano’s an exact count of how many of us will attend the luncheon. If you have not yet registered and paid $50 per person online with your credit card, today is your LAST DAY to do so.

Just few days after Thanksgiving, on Dec. 4, you are invited to enjoy a fun social event with your Senior Scholars friends. Nancy Stancill and the Social Committee have made wonderful plans for us at Maggiano’s Little Italy at SouthPark Mall. The plans also include some festive holiday music beforehand from two of our own members, Randy Broome on trombone and Pierce Howard on B flat and Piccolo trumpets. Who knows, they might even have a bit of additional percussion playing with them in the background! “Jingle Bells” or “Dreidel, Dreidel, Dreidel” anyone? Our luncheon speaker, Mark Washburn, was formerly with the Charlotte Observer and covered the Miracle on the Hudson for two weeks for the newspaper at the time the incident occurred. Since we just held a field trip at the new Sullenberger Aviation Museum this fall, Mark’s presentation will be a nice way to follow up our field trip or hear more about it if you were unable to attend at that time. Our tasty Holiday Luncheon menu is slated to include:
Tomato Bruschetta
Stuffed Mushrooms
Tossed Salad
Chicken Marsala
Mom’s Meat Lasagna
Mushroom Ravioli
Ciabatta Rolls
Gigi’s Butter Cake or Tiramisu
Coffee or Tea
Don’t all those courses sound delicious? You will also be able to order beverages or wine from their mini bar that will be located in our dining room, if you care.

Our very active Membership Committee wants to assist you with this in January. Currently the Membership Committee is reporting that a great many of you have already renewed for 2025. What a wonderful response, members! Thank you for stepping up!
