Clubhouse Programs
Now it is back to
the start of our Bridge, Pinochle and Bowling for the Fall, Winter and Spring
Seasons. Our Golf outings are still in full swing but numbered. Even these
players will be enjoying the cooler days up until the end of our playing season
in November.
As
we all get back into our grove, we also get to catch up with each other with
some lively discussions on the success of the Phillies and Eagles. We also can
look forward to upcoming trips following on from our August trip to the
Phillies.
September
brings us to the Flea Market on September 15th and the Indian King
Beer Tasting Fundraiser on September 22nd. So, clean out your
closets… and work up a thirst.
As for our upcoming weekly meetings, Jay has
us fully loaded. We start with a September full of interesting sessions…

Remember that apples are in season now, so
plan an apple picking trip, or just look for Jersey apple, they are in season
now…
One last, little known fact, September 1st
is ‘National No rhyme (nor Reason) Day’.
I’m not sure what to do on that day, I guess whatever I do, there will
be no rhyme nor reason for it.

the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent
left and could say, I used everything you gave me.” – –
Lions Club Flea Market – Sep 15th
Once again, the 65 Club will
participate in the Lions Club flea market on Saturday September 15th
(rain date 22rd). If you happen to be cleaning out the basement,
garage or closet and have items that are useable that you would like to donate
to the Club for the flea market, we would be happy to have them. Items that we
don’t sell are donated to Goodwill or equivalent organization. This is an
opportunity to get rid of items you no longer want or need. We cannot accept
large items such as furniture; these items generally don’t sell at the flea
market. You can drop items off at the Club at our regular Thursday meetings. If
you are unable to drop items off or need assistance contact Jim Dunn at (856) 858-1145
to arrange pickup of items.
65 CLUB WILL STEP BACK IN TIME – Oct 16th
On Tuesday, October 16, the charter bus will depart from
Wedgewood Swim Club at 8:30 AM.
We will head to the Mercer Museum in Doylestown PA. We will
enter this six-story concrete castle, which was completed in 1916, to house
Henry Mercer's vast collection of early American everyday objects. You will
find, more than 60 early American crafts and trades represented, including
woodworking, metalworking, agricultural, textile, and transportation tools.
Next on the schedule is lunch at the Plumstead Inn where
the menu choices will be chicken parmesan, roast beef with mashed potatoes
& vegetable and broiled salmon with rice and vegetable. After lunch, we
will head to Fonthill Castle, which was built between 1908 and 1912, entirely
of hand mixed concrete. Mercers unbelievable dream home has more than 44 rooms,
18 fireplaces, 32 staircases, and more than 200 windows of varying shapes and
sizes. Around 3:30-4:00 PM, we will depart for home.
The total cost for this full day package, which includes
admission to two castles, a full lunch as well as luxury transportation, is
only $80 per person. Checks should be made out to the Haddonfield 65 Club and
mailed to 110 Rhoads Ave. Haddonfield, NJ, 08033.
Please include your phone number on the checks. Seating is
limited.
September Song
Recently I
was listening to a Frank Sinatra album that I hadn’t played in quite a while.
His version of “September Song” gave me a chill that it never had before. When he crooned “It’s a long, long way from
May to December, but the days grow short when you reach September … the days
dwindle down to a precious few … September … November….” I knew that it was not
just a love song. It was a Life Song.
Of course,
people don’t like to dwell much on their days “dwindling down.” That’s why “Old Blue Eyes” also had tunes
like “Young At Heart” and “The Best Is Yet To Come.” Taken together the three
songs remind us to stay engaged with our friends and our community to continue
to make positive contributions to our corner of the world and make it a better
place.
That’s where
I think the 65 Club provides great opportunities to do just that. Not only does
being a member of the club help you make new friends, go on interesting trips,
and participate in your favorite games from pinochle and bridge to bowling and
golf. The Club also helps you learn new things about the community from our
weekly speakers. Perhaps most importantly it gives you an opportunity to help
people in need with everything from a ride to the doctor to raising money for
worthy causes. I remember last year standing outside the Haddonfield Acme (in a
snowstorm!) ringing a bell to collect for the Red Cross.
The 65 Club
and its varied activities and community service helps its members to stay
“Young at Heart.” And I for one believe that it has truly made Haddonfield “My
Kind of Town”!
