Hello everyone. As you know Joe Banyon is retiring next month. I’ve been asked by some of his friends to arrange a little farewell party in his honor.
The date is Friday, at 6 p.m. at City Cafe, and we hope you can make it.
We would like to give him a gift certificate. We are asking everyone to contribute. Let me know ASAP.
See you there.
