It is with a broken heart I’m sharing the sad news that Dolores McMillan passed away today. When there are details they will be posted.
Nick and I just got back from the doctor. Yes,I have cancer, but it is treatable. I have more tests next week and then should start treatment in early January. Thanks for the prayers and keep them coming. Smiles, V
The first snowfall of the season couldn’t stop Santa’s sleigh. He arrived right on schedule to eighteen children’s delight. We noticed the 29 adults also seemed pretty excited to see him. As to be expected there were a few timid children, but none of them needed to be convinced to take their gifts, even if it was via their parents and not directly from Santa.
Last year the swimming pool was full of children, but this year only the Mackson children went in. We aren’t sure if it was because of the weather, runny noses or that the YMCA no longer has a kiddie pool.
Besides the overwhelming cookie table we had popcorn, chicken fingers and pizza. It appears there was exactly the right amount of food.
The committee rushed the schedule a little, so those that had distances to drive could leave early. We finished closer to 3 pm, but had the facility until 4pm. To the pleasure of the committee there were a few who stayed and used the bouncer.
Along with committee members Mike, Kristin, Matt and Christine a special thank you goes to Dale for being Santa’s helper.
There were many, many others who stayed and stacked chairs, cleared tables, carried cartons to the van, etc. If we tried to mention them all we would miss someone. We know and we appreciate it.
As a final note: Victoria and I have been chairing the Children’s Christmas Party for many years. We’ve had so much help from so many members that we can’t take all the credit for the successes. We’ve had many parties where the children played and did a craft. They seemed just as happy then as when we had skating or swimming. What we’ve concluded is that the children make the parties. No matter where we go or what we do they will be happy. There are a lot of little children in Tri-V now and we see many parties in its future. We loved doing it, but are happy to pass on the reigns.
God Bless and may you all enjoy the little joys of Christmas.
Dominic and Victoria Angelosanto

Children’s Christmas Party Update
Small children in an approved swim aide do not need an adult in the pool. The adult may sit on the side of the pool.
On Friday, Oct. 21 Nick will have a new cell phone number (734) 673-7519.
Victoria’s cell stays the same (734) 674-0566 and is probably the preferred number. We still have a home landline if needed.
