HATS OFF TO:
SULLIVAN LEISURE TIME CLUB
SPRING EDITION 2016
Hi LTC Members! Spring is finally here – we hope! Thank you for your support of our
programs. After a lot of number crunching and debate, the officers and the planning
Committee have come to realize that we must raise the price of our luncheons from $5.00
for members to $8.00, and from $10.00 for guests to $13.00. This extra $3.00 will really
help us stay solvent for the next couple of years. We are also forced to raise our dues to
$10.00 per person starting in 2017. We hope this small increase will not deter you from
attending. We are not out to make a profit, only to break even. I really hope to see many
of you at our activities during the course of the season.
President Theresa.
