Letter From The President Bob Mashburn President, Mile-High Section
Feb Behind the Wheel: As I’m shoveling my driveway and sidewalk, I’m thinking when will it be Spring? I’m so looking forward to warm weather. The Fort has been selected for restaurant week and the date is February 27th. Our March social is at Benihana’s on the 16th and we are working on a mystery dinner in May, more information will be coming on that event. I look forward to seeing all of you at events or socials this year. Happy Valentine’s Day --Bob
