Luke Violette gave 23 happy dollars to celebrate his upcoming marriage on the 23rd. He has been in the club for three years and is happy to be a part of it.
Salin Low was happy to be at the meeting, since she had had a wreck the day before. A lady on a side street in West Hartford pulled onto Albany Avenue because she thought Salin should be turning right. Salin wasn’t hurt, but her car was headed back to the Sullivan Auto Body Shop. Thank heavens one of their “employees,” Larry Sullivan, was able to pick her up at the crash site. Taking her home was convenient since he lives right down the road. The biggest challenge was finding a rental car. She was getting a car the next day in Torrington. She reminded people to take the garage door remote any time they are separated from their cars.
An unhappy note: Lisa Wright had been admitted to the hospital the night before the meeting. There was no word on her condition. We hope she is on the mend.
