Happy birthday, Ron!

Today is Ron Caracci's birthday as well as our December DEAR lunch at Dooney's Pub in Delran (12:30).

We are keeping Suzanne Iannone and Judie Collins in our thoughts and prayers. (Suzanne's mother passed away and Judie is in the hospital recovering from a stroke).

I think this end of the year/decade might be a good time to share some DEA photos from yesteryear that will bring back a lot of memories for those of you pictured.
Here's the link: https://delranea.shutterfly.com/deapix/4  (See anyone you know???)

It's beginning to look a lot like....

2019 is coming closer and closer to the end. Time goes so fast now, right?

For starters, I hope everyone can come to our last DEAR lunch of the year on December 18th. That will be at Dooney's Pub in Delran at 12:30. It would be great to see everyone!

Remember Bruce's concert on Dec. 6th.

If anyone is on Facebook and would be interested in being a member of the private group we comment on occasionally, let me know. The URL is: https://www.facebook.com/groups/379103985568750/  but I'm not sure what the deal is with the privacy factor for joining...

Happy Thanksgiving and stay warm! (and healthy, please).

...and so it is Fall....

So it's been Halloween and leaves turning color and the election and the NJREA convention and now time for another DEAR friends lunch at Dooneys! Sorry for the last minute notification! I look forward to seeing you all!

Here are photos from our last lunch:

So, what's been going on with you all? I invite you to add a comment below! :-)

So what's new?

I just got Bruce's announcement about his upcoming Moorestown Community Band concerts (Yes, two! )

The first one is Saturday, Nov. 2, 7-9 p.m. It's called the Wiley Village Concert and is being held on Main Street in Marlton. Open to the public; a wide variety of music

The second is Friday, Dec. 6  7:30-9:30 A Winter Potpourri Concert at William Allen Middle School,
801 N. Stanwick Road, Moorestown. Free

Note: Although the concerts are free, donations are joyfully accepted! :-)

So...what have you all been up to? I hope you had a great summer!

Marcia Konieczka and I went to Seaside on the first day of school (to celebrate...you know...) and to New York City a couple of times (The Cher Show and then, yesterday, Tootsie).

Anybody interested in seeing West Side Story on Broadway? That may be next on my list....(Also interested in Come From Away, Dear Evan Hansen, and, of course, Harry Potter!)

Fun lunch but on a sad day -September 11

Apparently it's the delicious food as well as convenient location that keeps us coming back to Dooney's Pub.

Great to see everyone, as always. All are welcome to join us next month on October 23. :-)
