President’s Message
Sept 2018 Score – Low Gross Score - Low Net
What a great start to our Fall Season! We had a great time
with the Flea Market. Yes, we made $$. But, more importantly, we had enjoyment
and good fellowship collecting the items, pricing them and interacting with
each other and the customers during the sale! Each year our Flea Market
provides each of us with this opportunity and I encourage all who are available
to participate next year.
As for October, we have three events not to be missed.
·
The first is our annual Stag Luncheon with our Guest
Speaker, Mile Leyden. This is our monthly business meeting on October 11th
and is held at the Tavistock Country Club where we have an excellent meal, time
to meet and share news with friends and to hear an interesting speaker
·
The next event is helping with our 65 Club table at the
Fall Festival on Saturday, October 13th. We all have a great time
meeting and chatting with friends and potential new members. We are there from
about 10 – 2. You don’t need to be there
for the entire time. Just show up for as much as you want and have some fun.
·
The third event is our trip to the Mercer Museum, followed
by a sumptuous lunch and a tour of Henry Mercer’s house, Fonthill Castle. This
tour is on Tuesday, October 16th. It is indeed a step back in time
to see the items collected by Henry Mercer.
October is a transition month
for us as well. We leave summer and move into times of cool nights and warm
days.
No more of that hiding from the
oppressive heat and humidity. We are free to get out of the house and enjoy the
outdoors.
It’s also time to pull out our
decorations, as we get ready for Halloween and the visits by all of the
children dressed in their favorite costumes, ready to pick up all of those
treats.
I hope you are looking forward
to this exciting October as much as I am.
