November/December Newsletter
Please take note that this Singles Outreach Newsletter includes November and
December. 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. Our mission is to serve the Singles Community
by providing education, activities, and a supportive
environment for personal growth and socialization.

November 20, Thursday: 12:30-3pm and 3-6 pm. Singles Outreach Volunteers will be helping the Regional Food Bank of Northeastern New York with the 30th Annual Holiday Hunger Appeal at Crossgates Mall. This event is their largest and most successful fundraiser.
A corporate sponsor matches the donations collected each day which doubles our efforts. Five people are needed for each shift Singles
Outreach volunteers always make a difference helping and the need for our neighbors is great! Contact Ellen to sign up, 235-5526.
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.
YES, thanks to Paul & Louise
Giuliano, they will be performing at the

SOS Columbus Day Picnic Story
About fifty young Marines were training in the
large field next to the Sharon Pavilion at our Columbus Day Picnic. 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.

On October 5th SOS had a table at this wonderful event in Saratoga. We had at least 400 conversations and passed out over 400 newsletters. There
were over 80 presenters and a few of them will
become SOS workshop leaders, for example, Mary
Hartshorne! Check the November calendar for her
Thursday Reiki Calm workshops.
