One side of the calendar page is November and the other side is December. Page 2 (left column) shows the weekly activities for both months organized by days of the week. Pages 2 (right column), 7 and 8 show the individual activities by date. Hill Street Meeting Room The Hanover Square Hill St. meeting room has generated the following income from use of the room: May $400, June, $550; July, $750; August $1,000 and September, $1,350! Why has the income been increasing? It’s because many members have been creating and hosting events including Sunday potlucks, Monday movies, Tuesday bridge & Real World, Thursday workshops, Friday special events such as Cabaret Nights and Saturday game nights. We’re looking for more activities that would appeal to members. Let us know if you have an idea. Singles Outreach is a NYS not-for-profit corporation.

Tuesday Real W orld & New Member Meeting At this point I’d say that Real W orld is the heartbeat of SOS. About 20 to 25 people usually attend and the topics are generated by SOS members and the friendly and engaging discussions are also led by SOS members. The first Tuesday of each month, beginning at 6pm, is a “new and prospective member” welcome meeting. At the October meeting there were five new and returning members, as well as two activity leaders and several Board members. All of the participants stayed for Real W orld. Thank You to Our Many Volunteers Thanking people can be troublesome because some people, who deserve thanks will inevitably be left out. Nevertheless, I want to give it a try without having room to list everyone by name. Thanks to Maria Immediato, Dave Chalmers, Ann Parillo and their Gala team; to Gary Burgess, Eileen Spadaro and the Ballroom Dance team; to over thirty SOS activity leaders (listed through this newsletter); to Ed McCann and our Picnic teams; to Martha Zibro, Nancy Smith and our Newsletter Mailing team; to the 19 members of the SOS Board of Directors (listed on the December calendar); to Loretta Raymond, our phone call champion, and her helpers; to Sam Gallucci, SOS webmaster; to Luella Dozois, SOS data base manager; and to Tinamarie Cleveland, Donna Sorrento and Marge Mabee for tea, hot dogs, soda and a whole bunch more! Bring a Friend to SOS And an end of year Holiday Challenge: bring a friend to an SOS activity. If you bring a non-member to any SOS activity, they can participate at no charge, if they join. I hope that by the end of 2015 we double our membership — that will be from 281 to 562. Happy Holidays I personally want to wish Happy Holidays to you and I hope that SOS activities and SOS members add to your happiness in general and to your enjoyment of the Holidays. Gregg Millett, SOS Founder and 22nd President of SOS Report on the Gala Maria Immediato We had an incredible time at the 2014 Gala! There was dancing, lots of mingling and laughter...everyone sparkled! The Silent Auction was the true star of the evening, and everyone was impressed with the low starting bids. It had a wonderful response. This was our first Silent Auction ever, and while we had some bumps in the road, we are ready to take on 2015! This amazing fundraiser raised over $3,000 for SOS! Thanks to all who helped and participated. My sincerest appreciation to you all for great team work Showcase Dance by Pasha and Daniella At the Holiday Dance, on December 28th, the showcase dance will be performed by Pasha and Daniella. These dance champions started dancing together in January 2009. Together, they are the current U.S. 10 Dance Champions. Daniella is the youngest US competitor to ever hold this title. Daniella and Pasha were also selected to represent the US at the 2009 World Games in Taiwan. They made the semifinal in the world championship, taking place in Spain. Pasha and Daniella held on to their 10 dance US championship in both, the NDCA and USA Dance Nationals in 2010 and 2011. In October 2011, they won the UK Open Ten Dance Championship, which took place in London. In 2012 they became the USA dance national Latin champions. In 2012, they also made the semifinal of the prestigious Blackpool Dance Festival.

One of their exercises was a tug of war. A few of us went into the field and challenged them to a contest. They accepted! So Donna, Tinamarie and Gregg took hold of one end of the rope and three Marines (actually three young women) took hold of the other end. Well, who do you think won? They couldn’t budge us! We couldn’t budge them either until one Marine jumped on our end and we pulled them as we all fell over. And some other picnic highlights — kids flying kites!, a bike outing, great food, fun games and Fred Jacobs playing great music. Hi Everyone WOW! You missed a terrific High Tea. What a spread; the food was wonderful the conversations interesting. We all got a chance to get to know each other better. The next one is already in the planning stages (Sunday, December 14). Don't miss it! Kudos to Tinamarie. Marge M.
