***** A letter from Art Plant *********** 11/7/2020 *******

Hi RSN members,

As this difficult year winds down, it reminds us of our priorities. Hopefully you have coped with everything and took precautions to avoid the virus.

As you know I have been struggling with stomach GI problems. I have improved slightly gaining 16 of the 45 lbs that I lost. God has been with me bringing me along while teaching me patience. Thanks to many of you who sent meals, emails, cards and phone calls. It was greatly appreciated.

When we started our great Red Sox Nation nearly 10 years ago, little did I know that we would grow to over 1200 members and become the largest Red Sox club in the USA. We have created many memorable moments that you have enjoyed. Whether it was trips, speakers, games, bocce, cornhole, surviving spouses, having the Sox equipment truck here, 3 Champion rings which many of you put on, 3 World Series trophies that you had pictures with, casino nights with dinner . .

Let us know if you would like to serve on a committee or have any new ideas. I want to thank everyone who has helped out over the years. Without the Chairpersons and committee members we could not function at a high level.

As soon as I regain my weight and God solves my GI problem Mary Foley and I will be married. We met after each of us lost our spouse in 2013. May you be blessed as we resume next year; I love you all.

Dave Bedard is our Vice-President!

I have been a Sox fan since birth. I had no choice, Mom was the Biggest Red Sox fan ever.

Playing Little League, I wanted to hit like Yaz & field like Frank Malzone.

I remember Curt Gowdy, TV38, The Impossible Dream, Morgan Magic, The Fisk Homer & Bill Buckner.

But win or lose, I remained a diehard Sox fan and look forward to serving The Best Club in The Villages.

Let's Have Fun, Root for the Red Sox and Make a Difference ---GO SOX!!
