Announcements

 

Sandi says our date is set for the holiday celebration, Nov. 10.  Our resident gourmands are invited to bring appetizers and desserts.

Mike thinks the state of the economy affected the turnout for the golf tournament.  The final figures are not in yet.  The Boys and Girls Club staff did the recruiting.  Mike thank volunteers:  President Bruce, Dr. Jim, Marlon, Dorothy, Joanne, Sandi, Larry, Dr. Ron, Stan, and Van.  Great Job Volunteers!
