Welcome Back from Winter...Spring Break

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year...Really, is it necessary to dump this on us in April? Back at work, a little sore from the lap band surgery, but no worse for wear. I was going stir crazy at home. It is even worse watching my friends coming down the fairways on the course behind my house. I, not unlike Tiger, will make my triumphant return to golfing this weekend. My stomach looks like I lost in a knife fight, but it is worth it now that I have dropped 35lbs. from eating water, broth, sugar-free popsicles (don't judge until you have had one) and split pea soup. We have our OEA AR and Exec Bd meeting tonight and we will begin our "Early Enrollment" membership campaign where we sign members up and postpone dues until the Fall. If you have a friend who hasn't joined (or even someone you really don't like) this is a great chance. It has been a tough membership year because of the economic contraints, but we hope to pick up a few more this spring. Sorry, I have to go practice my swing.... Rick
