Our next meeting
May 18, 2008
at Pappadeaux Restaurant, Westmont, Illinois!
It is with great sadness to tell you that our club's
founder, Jerry Klein, passed away on February 10, 2008. In his usual
style, the news of his passing dominated the club's meeting that Sunday.
We wouldn't have had it any other way. In the coming months there will
be a page on this site about his legacy and lasting impact on the world
of Cairns.
In the meantime, please visit this
site set up by the family of Jerry to read about his life and share
condolenses and memories.
