The general meeting for this month will be at our regular meeting place on Tuesday January 8, 2002 starting at 8 PM at:

This month's technical class will be our usual January bill of fare, a video tape and discussion. Please come and join us.

The December meeting was our annual holiday party. It was held on December 4 at the Schooner Restaurant in Freeport. It had an attractive seaside ambiance and good food, and the evening was so warm it was actually nice to be at the ocean's edge in December!

It was a wonderful opportunity for the members and their spouses/partners to get together again and do some socializing. I even thought I heard some shop talk, but I'm sure I'm wrong, since everyone knows that PTG members never talk about pianos at social gatherings.

Here's to a happy, healthy, and prosperous new year. But then again, maybe a more boring, uneventful, run-of-the-mill year would be nice, too, just this one time.
