Thank You to Mimi Roos

       Puritan Bridge Club wishes to extend a huge thank you to Mimi Roos!

Mimi has served as secretary for over ten years! She was never shy about pointing the Board in the right direction. We will miss her thoughtful analysis as we approach decisions. Mimi will continue to be an important part of our club whenever she is not traveling the world with her husband Peter. We are happy to remain an important part of her full life and appreciate her service to Puritan. Keep loving life, Mimi!!
