On October 5th, I started my month out going to Pittsburg, CA to celebrate the 3rd Annual Festa Italia with members at the C.

On September 27th, from the Long Beach terminal, we boarded the Carnival Radiance for our September 2024 Grand Council meeting at Sea!

The September potluck consisted of a lot of good food and fellowship.

No meeting in November. The Christmas
