Hello all!
 We had a great turn out at yesterday's lunch at the  Ramada: about 25 people, including one man and a baby.
 Of course, babies are not new to this group but  Hsinyi and lovely baby Anthony were. Also Diana from England.
 We also had several  guests who, hopefully, can  make it again some time.
 I think I speak on behalf of everybody that a good  time was had by all.
 As I will be in the Fatherland next month, Alicia  was kind enough to be pressed into service to send the invitations out for  
 our next lunch which will be already on the first  of September.
 Please RSVP her! Yesterday we had about 5 people  more than expected which makes it hard on the restaurant.
 Hope to see you all safe and sound in October when  the summer heat and risk of hurricanes is over.
 Best wishes, Sigrun Buckley
