Club President’s Message: September 2022
Hard to believe we just passed our 102 years. As always, the Anniversary dinner was an epic event – the food, dancing and most importantly the people. One thing is for sure, the Colombo Club brings out the best in family and friends. I would say that our founding fathers would be proud of how […]
Auxiliary President’s Message: August 2022
I do hope that everyone had a safe and fun celebration of America’s independence. The Chicago shooting really made me stop and remember our family outings and how we had to only plan for a lot of great picnic food, beverages and a first aide kit for bee stings, scraps and ointment for minor burns […]

Club President’s Message: July 2022
Hard to believe that we are mid-way through the 2022 year. Life was a lot slower during the covid era. The past two years were tough times. It seems that things now are as tough or tougher.
