PRESIDENT’S MESSAGEHello fellow Saginaw Club Members,Summer has passed, the kids are in school, and the leaves are beginning to turn� The smell of fall is in the air and our Saginaw Club is getting ready for its busy season! On September 6th, we had our second new member orientation with over 40 people present. A fine tour was given by Chuck Hoover, our club historian� We also had John Morey and his mother, Roberta,

in attendance as they both are working on the Saginaw Club historical book� It is so exciting to see the new faces and watch our new members get more involved� The pool table has been getting so much use that we purchased new equipment and are getting it re-felted� There’s also been a lot of activity on the patio with cigars, cocktails, and some good storytelling� I’ve also heard from a number of new members that our bartender, Lee, is getting very good at remembering their favorite special beverage� We have a full slate of events planned for the coming months and Kathy and I are looking forward to seeing you all there� Stag nights are scheduled on October 10th, with our own Dr� Samuel Shaheen and on November 14th, with Tom Mudd as the featured speaker� On Thursday, October 18th, the American Regional Dining Series presents a “MICHIGAN HARVEST DINNER”� Thursday night bistro is back and children 12 and under now eat free off the kids’ menu on Thursdays! The Saginaw Bay Symphony Orchestra begins its series on October 20th, so be sure to make dinner reservations as the club will be very busy that day� Finally, our own Young Professional Advisory Committee (YPAC) is sponsoring, together with the YPN of the Saginaw Chamber, a festive Halloween party on October 26th� Costumes are required and this should be a great time! I hope you will continue to keep us in mind for any private parties or company events you have planned this fall into the holiday season� Also, be sure to mark your calendar for the upcoming events� Please call Laureen or Cheryl and we would be happy to reserve a spot for you or make your private event special� After all, this is YOUR club�

My best to you all! Mark Hardy
