Our thanks to Mike and Diane Cipponeri for creating another fantastic evening!  Diane had outdone herself in the creativity and love that she puts into the event and gifts.

We had a smaller turnout than past years, with 38 in attendance, but in no way did that diminish the fun that was had by all.  Our group is very competitive by nature and it was evident in the seriousness of the blackjack players and those cheering on their cars during Viper racing.

We also want to thank Pat Gall, for her contribution of some of the model Vipers, that Joe had acquired over the years.  Pat was very insistent that these be given away free, to our members.  One of those lucky recipients, was Barb Maccani, who won a basket of Joe’s cars, after her win at Viper racing.

Everyone had a great time and after our President queried the group about a Winter Party for next year, and all were in agreement.

I, for one, enjoy coming every year and seeing my Viper friends for an evening of good fun, food and camaraderie.

On a cold Wednesday evening in Sterling Heights, 16 brave souls ventured out for the monthly camaraderie of friends. They met up at Ikes, a Greek eatery for fine dining in one of their private rooms. Hummus and fresh vegies were the appetizer of choice. Laughter and catching up of past adventures was happily discussed.

The small turn out could be that the original west side location was still closed for remodeling and Ikes stepped in at the last minute to graciously accommodate our group.

We will be returning to the West side for our March outing so please check your emails for future updates.

Everyone has been slowly recovering from their holiday madness.  We’ve been having weird unseasonable weather for December and January with temperatures in the 40’s.  Last week we had solid rain and flooding, only to see some light snow a couple days later.

Our Cruise Director, Rick Jakacki found us a new venue on the east side, where we can meet and greet our club friends, many of which we have not seen for quite a while.  I have it on good authority he’s found another new restaurant, on the west side, for February’s Cruise.

For a chilly Wednesday night, we had a great turnout, with 24 in attendance.  The weather was again in the 40’s and you could of almost brought your Viper, until it started to rain on the way home.

Our thanks to Rick for taking the time from his busy schedule, to find us great venues, every month.  The staff is always accommodating for our sizable group.
