| Ronnie Bender Birthday Bash |
 On October 14 Puritan celebrated the 90th birthday of Ronnie Bender, a member who brings great fun, charm and humor to the club. Thank you to his wife Sheila for hosting this event and thank you to our entertainment committee for their efforts as always! Kao Li wrote and read a poem of tribute to Ronnie which was hilarious and yet heartfelt. We were all delighted to meet the Bender's beautiful daughter Amy who joined the celebration. Sheila's speech reminded us all that this club is really like a family to so many of us. Happy Birthday to Ronnie! You make 90 look fantastic!

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!!
