Shoregal Yearbook:
The 2010 Shoregal Yearbooks are in and will be distributed starting this weekend.  Additional copies may be purchased for $2.00.  Once again, the books look sharp and will make a nice keepsake momento of the season.

Cudos Corner:
Special thanks to Jim Coyne, Brian Spitz, and Margie Maloney in selling ads for the Shoregal Yearbook; to Vic Strimbu for coordinating the pictures, and Bush Printing for their technical assistance in putting the book together.

Also, thanks to all the parents who solicted their companies to become patrons of the book.

We could not do this project without everyone's help.
