Skål Boston 2020 Holiday Party
Skålleagues we are grateful to have had the opportunity to toast together on December 17, 2020. It has certainly been an unexpected year, but the fellowship of this group has been a light.

COVID-19 UPDATE: APRIL MEETING

Honoring the Governor’s decision to ban gatherings of more than 25 people, our April meeting at the Hampshire House has been cancelled. I know you share my disappointment as we were preparing to celebrate our Past Presidents. I want to thank both Tom Kershaw and Michele Giacomozzi for…
