The four-course dinner is $50 per person (including tax and tip) with a cash bar. We hope everyone will plan to attend. Please make checks payable to the Long Island-Nassau Chapter PTG.

Please R.S.V.P. to Michael Slavin, RPT at: (516) 781-8888 or slavinpiano@aol.com, so that we can provide the caterer with a headcount for seating arrangements. Thank you. (The restaurant requests a guaranteed number of guests, so we are hoping for a large attendance).

Tech Tip
by Michael Slavin, Chapter President

Annual reminder: It is now winter, and you should try to remember to remove your glues from your car overnight during the cold season. Constant freeze-thaw cycles can reduce the bonding properties and effectiveness of most adhesives (especially carpenter's wood glues such as Tite-Bond, PVC-E, Roo Glue, etc.). And there is also the added inconvenience of trying to make a repair with a glue that is frozen solid or so thick that it will not flow. If you read Pianotek's recent online newsletter, they indicated that they will not sell or ship any glues during the winter for this very reason.
