                             President’s Message  
Hi Alley 54! Here we are already into Feb. And the cold is finally here. This month we will be going to the Mandarin Super Buffet on 400 Highland Ave in Salem. It is located right before Wal*Mart. I need a count of people attending, so please e-mail me j-clowncubbard@webtv.net or call me 978-744-1140 before Feb 9th. The cost is $5 for members and $12.95 for guests. Bring your favorite pocket trick/gag/walkaround to share with everyone.   All are welcome.
As far as church news... the latest is that we will be moving out by June 30, and the new location might not be finished to move into until late fall. This means that we may not be able to have out June meeting, as the church will need to be emptied, and cleaned for the sale of the building. We need to find temp homes for all our "stuff" stored at the church.
Cheryl and I have a storage unit that we can share if the alley wants to chip in for part of the rent. Also bring your ideas to the meal on what we might be able to do for the 6 months or so we may not have a location to meet. The church has told
me that we will be welcome to  move back in as soon as they are ready, so we will still have a place to meet!!! The new location on Lafayette St need lots of fixing up before we can move in. If the church has any work days to clean the old building and fix up the new place, I will try to let you all know so that you can show your appreciation, and come and
help, to thank them for the meeting space they provide at such a low cost to us!   Lots to think about this month..."J"
