NETWORK SOCIAL GROUP CLOSURE:
Hi All!
For many years (the first 12 years are the hardest) I have enjoyed meeting many new friends through
the group, but now the time has come to move on to other things, and enjoy other activities, so I am
winding up the Network Social Group as from the end of December, the December dinner and camp
will be my last with the group. I thank my many friends and acquaintences for your continuing support
and friendship, and hope to meet again at other venues in the future. Au Revoir from Damo for now!
