Terry Bozarth,
Barbara DeMase,
Warren Shanahan, and

We committed to having the
Holiday Party December 11 at Levine Senior Center, 1050 DeVore Ln, Matthews, NC 28226.
(Please do not try to search this location at Google, it is wrong. Locate the Senior Center from our map at http://pc3.org/news/images/maplg_pic_levine.jpg or from MSN or Mapquest.) Our thanks to Terry for making the arrangements. Although the cost of the meal is up this year, through our relation with Levine of Warren and his team teaching their classes, the overall cost will be comparable to recent years. We will hold the ticket price at
$15 each for members and one guest with a comparable contribution from the club treasury. There are advantages to membership.
We chose a menu of Grilled Flank Steak and Pan Seared Tilapia for the entrees. We will also have vegetables, a salad, and a chef’s choice dessert. Barbara DeMase and all SIG coordinators will be selling tickets at all meetings in October and November. If you cannot make it to a meeting, please contact her at
treasurer@pc3.org. Barbara and Terry will coordinate decorations and Dewey is again searching for gift donations. If you would like to help in any capacity, please contact us from the Officers page on pc3.org.
Warren continues to get an enthusiastic response from the seniors in his classes. Any members who want to participate, please contact him.
There are currently 3 SIGs active: Web Design – first Wednesday of the month, Online Collaboration – third Wednesday of the month, Microsoft Office – last Tuesday of the month. Always check the Calendar for late updates on meetings.
