MEMBERS CORNER
Invite a friend, relative or neighbor to come along with
you for an evening at the club house.
TRAVELERS
Bobbie DeCoster is back from her wonderful trip to
Antarctica with her Daughter and may have a few
pictures and highlights for us.
HOPELINK
In July we are hosting the All Non-profit Picnic, which
includes KCC, Kenmore Heritage Society, The Arts of
Kenmore, Friends of the Kenmore Library and the
Kenmore Senior Center. We had a great turnout last
year and hope to do the same this year. At last year’s
picnic our club had a raffle and food drive to benefit
Hopelink. We had a great donation response from all of
you and especially from George Maser of Maser’s Pet
and Grooming, with all of his food donations. Thanks
again George. This year we are planning to have some
great raffle items for you (crocheted baby blanket in
progress, several homemade necklaces, etc.), and
Ostrom’s Drug has agreed to give us some items as they
did last year. So far, so good, in that department.
In addition this year I would like to add a bake sale. I
mentioned this at our last potluck and had a good
response. Several have offered to bring homemade
baked goodies. We will have more discussion at next
week’s potluck.
School will be out in about five weeks and all those
hungry kids will be home for the summer. So we can
bring soup, peanut butter, jelly, tuna, etc. at the next two
meetings and I will gather it up for the next big food drive
in July.
I have a few dollars in the “jar” and a couple cans of food
but not enough to make a trip yet, so keep it coming and
I will keep you posted.
