Best wishes to you and your families for a healthy and Happy New Year! Your 2019 LI Section Officers team is: Lou D’Onofrio, Chair, James Colotti, 1st Vice Chair, Arnold Stillman, 2nd Vice Chair, Sandy Mazzola, Treasurer, and Ron Pirich, Secretary. I would like to thank all of those who volunteered their time to the Section in 2018. Your efforts are vital to providing value to our members.
