President's Note

UND is NEXT WEEK! Buy your tickets now at www.ndnyc.org Tickets will NOT be sold at the door and the hotel needs our count this Friday.

Our featured speaker is Father Malloy, and we will also be hosting our annual silent auction.  We hope to see everyone next Tuesday, June 17th at the Helmsley Hotel for this wonderful celebration.

NDNY's annual Bookstore Basketball tourny was held this past weekend- many thanks to our terrific commissioners, Ryan Armijo, Bridget Trainor and Bridget Veihmeyer for all their hardwork.

And . . . I am pleased to announce that Shane McRann Bigelow, who has served as President-Elect will now be taking over the lead as President of NDNY. Watch for some exciting announcements from Shane in the next few weeks, including a change in Gamewatch location.

You can continue to contact NDNY at ndnypresident@gmail.com.  NDNY is still seeking other officers, commissioners and volunteers, so please get involved. We are open to all ideas and suggestions and need motivated people with good ideas to help keep the club thriving.  Time commitment can be as much or as little as you want.
