    March Event at The Newbury Boston was Unforgettable

    Many thanks to Mr. Carlos Bueno and the superb team at The Newbury Boston for hosting an impeccable event on March 17.

We pinned four new members to our group and welcomed countless guests.

Our next event will be held on April 21, 2022 at the…
