It was a great pleasure and privilege to have Attorney Drew Early with us at our March breakfast meeting. Mr. Early is a distinguished Army Veteran and Attorney whose practice is devoted to and focused on Veterans Assistance and Elder Law. Mr. Early opened our eyes on the breadth, scope, and workings of our Veterans Administration and how to obtain assistance and available benefits. We appreciate the many "finer points" he shared with us. He most kindly offered to join us again at a later date to focus on Elder Law.

THE ROMEOS were honored to have our State Representative, friend, neighbor, and staunch ROMEO supporter, and super advocate on our behalf, Representative Tom Taylor
with us at our April meeting. (Pre-news releases).

Tom treated us to a great rundown on the recently completed 2016 Legislative Session with information on key bills, issues on the May 24th ballot, and an overview on key Dekalb County issues. We left the breakfast with a wealth of knowledge.

We took the opportunity to thank Tom for the super job he has done representing Dunwoody and District 79 and reconfirmed his Lifetime Honorary ROMEO Membership.

We observed a moment of silence to honor Joe Garson's memory.

Our May 9th breakfast meeting will focus on fellowship as there will not be a speaker reflecting a change of pace. We will be seeking input from the ROMEOS present as to programs and speakers they would like scheduled for the months of June through November. HELP NEEDED!

Juliets, we will meet May 21st at 12:00 at AAC. We are hoping that meeting once a quarter might let us get more people to attend. We are blessed to be so busy!

Let me know if you need a ride and I look forward to seeing you!!!
