 Membership Chairman, Bob “Semper Fi” Fuller, wants all members to make it a New Year’s resolution for ’07 to bring in not one but two new members.  Bob’s motto, “Ask him to become an SMC member.”  If you don’t ask, “You’ll never know.”   We all agree with Bob.  SMC is a great group of men who want to do great things for Shorewood.

 The new, improved, extra strength SMC Directory is soon to be delivered to you.  The wait will be worth it!  Volunteers will drop off your copy soon!  Many thanks go to Catholic Family Life Insurance and SMC member, Joe Gadbois for underwriting the expense for the directory. 

 Please make a copy of this newsletter and put it on your refrigerator.  Make sure it is in a spot where family members can see.  This will stimulate attendance on Wednesday and we’ll meet the 30-person Hubbard Park Lodge commitment.  Thanks!
