Three last reminders in closing: Sunday, October 29th is our annual Halloween Party for families. This is a big event at Sequoyah. Please make sure to make reservations early so we can plan properly. We look forward to all the children in costumes. Equally important, we have the Annual Meeting on Saturday morning November 11th. This will be followed by the President’s Cup. Lastly, make sure you make your reservations for Thanksgiving Dinner. I know, it’s almost two months away! If you want to guarantee your family’s spot at the table, early reservations are recommended.
