Pioneers of RG&E Newsletter - 10/22/2019

A Newsletter for Retirees * Also posted at www.pioneersofrge.com Hello friends,    Happy Fall! It has been a while since I've sent anything out. How's everyone doing?    I don't think I saw any pictures from the picnic, but the picnic went well. We had 195 show up this year.     On the personal side, this year I found out I have the BRCA1 genetic mutation and I have been preoccupied researching and scheduling preventative surgeries to reduce my risk of breast cancer and ovarian cancer, so things have been a bit busy, but the journey is going well. I'm working on an informative site that I hope to share soon.    For those of you on Facebook - our group is HERE. Molly PS - Don't forget these newsletters are also posted at www.pioneersofrge.com March Picnic in Florida I have a note here that says the March picnic is the 2nd Monday in March, which is Monday, March 9th, 2020.  Veterans Day Ceremony Will be held at 11:00AM, November 11, 2019, at 1300 Scottsville Rd., Rochester, NY 14624. It’s a short (15 minute) ceremony.
