When the ball drops, 2011 will be over...and it's been the finest year for this group as it continues to grow not just in number but more importantly in solidarity. Just a few quick numbers to note:

22 meet ups over 12 months.

2 out of state group trips 

1 play, 2 musicals

and whole mess of movies, trendy restaurants, and booze...
