Our thanks to those who provided the films and to all who attended. Thanks also to Fred Addis for facilitating use of the museum facilities. Upcoming Meeting Schedule: Our three winter meetings will be held on Sa­ turday afternoons at "The Pier". Plan to attend at 2: 00 p. m. on January 9th, February 6th and March 6th. Our April meeting will also be at "The Pier", but will be at 8: 00 p. m. on Friday, April 9 t h , and not on Good Friday, April 2nd, as erroneously reported in the November issue. We apo­ logize for getting our dates confused last issue. (Old habits die hard! ) Our annual Greetings of the Season message is contained in this issue, but the front page is where we really should wish A Very Merry Christmas to all! And a Happy New Year, too! In the New Member Department, a hearty welcome goes out to Paul Parks and to James Montgomery, both of Grand Haven, Michigan. We are pleased to have you with us in T. M. H.
