CYC's 2002 New Year's Party Carnival de Venice - A Masked Ball is filling up fast! Dress is black tie, costume, or club blazer. A prize will be given for the best costume. This year's will be a very colorful affair with lots of surprises. I encourage you to make your reservations now. Don't miss it!

This column was written in beautiful Puerto Vallarta, where your Commodore and Commodoress were doing hard, but necessary research for CYC's Mexico cruise next March 16th. After all, I was only doing my job! Seriously, I think all Corinthians who go are going to have a wonderful and very memorable time. All members are welcome and space is still available. I invite and encourage every Corinthian to reflect on the special joy that this club of ours and our friendships have brought over the past year. Let' s all vow to participate as much as possible in 2002. One constant in difficult times is our friends, and at the center, is our wonderful Corinthian.

Have a great holiday season and a happy new year!
