R-UTN September Luncheon

The R-UTN luncheon at the View restaurant in Northport was a great success! It was a beautiful September day and we had over 85 retirees attend! Jane Flood, our president for the last four years, introduced the new slate of officers including our new president, Antoinette Blanck.  It was so nice to see old and new faces at this annual event.

A gallery of photos from the luncheon has been posted on Photo Gallery webpage.
