Wednesday, December 21, 2011

HMWHSC Christmas Party has been scheduled for Thursday 12/22/11 at Mulconry's Irish Pub.  Starting time is 15:30 going till whenever. "We thought we'd try a change of venue this year"  said HMWHSC President Daniel Doran.  "In past years we have gone downtown to Rockys, this year we thought we'd give the pleeb (J-Mo) a shot at the business."  Several reporters asked if the move was permanent and Doran was reluctant to comment.  After being pressured he said "I can't speak for future administrations, but in my mind this is a trial run.  We'll just have to see how things go".
