The Retirees Chapter member’s breakfast meeting<br />

was held April 10 at the Irish American. President<br />

Joe Conti opened the meeting with leading members<br />

in the Pledge of Allegiance and a moment of<br />

those members who have passed since January.<br />

Herb Andrews began the first order of business<br />

by reading the Treasurer’s Report, which was<br />

then accepted and seconded by Jack Chambers<br />

and Mike McGrath.<br />

The special guest this meeting was Pamela<br />

Santin from Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts.<br />

and skin cancer. With the summer months<br />

coming and people spending more time outside,<br />
