The monthly luncheon location has been moved.

The Piccadilly is closing and the luncheon has been moved to the Quality Inn, Commonwealth & I-295 (formally the Holiday Inn) the 1st Wednesday of each month.


Jim Scott, Class of 1962, asked that I pass the word that on the FIRST WEDNESDAY OF EACH MONTH a group of multi-year Paxon classmates meet for lunch at the Quality Inn, Commonwealth & I-295 (formally the Holiday Inn.)

Arrive around 11:00 go through the food line and proceed to the indoor pool area. Jim has reserved the area from 11:00 to 1:30 so there will be plenty of time for socializing. If you are interested, just show up. Please pass the word.... Judy
