Dear Member,
Autumn has arrived and hopefully the weather
has cooled a bit.
October brings the Outreach Flea Market on the
11th and the Alfie Silva Show on the 19th. Where can
you go to get top entertainment and a scrumptious
dinner for $20.00 in a short drive from your home? We
expect this to be a sell-out. If you would like to preview
the entertainment, Alfie Silva does have a web site.
More exciting news for those of you that enjoy
keeping your body in shape.
We have made
arrangements with Aging Matters to have two free
classes per week of Bone Builders. These classes will
take place on Monday and Wednesday from 8:30 to
9:30 am starting this month.
THANK YOU AGING MATTERS!
Please attend our October
Membership Meeting.
Happy Halloween Everyone!
