These guys ››››››
are going to be missed !
Bill has received a job offer he
couldn’t refuse so he and Danny will
be leaving Atlanta.
These guys have been great friends
and an integral part of Hotlanta
Squares, MASDA and the GSSDA.
Our loss is Ft. Lauderdale’s gain!
‹‹‹‹‹ Happy for these guys
Congratulations to Penny and Johnny
Jones, our beloved caller and his boss.
Johnny and Penny celebrated their
