There will be more information on this subject in your Nov/Dec newsletter, but I wanted to share with you something that happened to me after the newsletter went to print. I received my 10th “final notice” call to renew my vehicle warranty! This time I stayed on the line and listened. It did prompt me to press a certain number for more information, don’t do that, but it also gave me the option to press another number to be removed from their calling list. It may be worth staying on the line and listening before you delete the phone number or hang up.

FROM OUR MEMBERS
Not long ago an email was sent to the club mailbox from a member, she writes:
“I just wanted to put it out there that if there is someone in our group that is alone with no family here and having a hard time being isolated with the virus situation, I am open to helping”.
Also, another club member asked this question:
“I’m a Club member looking for someone to make a small repair on each of 2 twin size crochet blankets done by my deceased sister. They are clean and in good shape except for the small repairs. I’m willing to pay or donate for the repairs as well as deliver/pickup, socially distant and wearing a mask. I don’t crochet and so want to pass her work along to her grand niece and nephew”.
For information on either of the above, contact me, Louise Stevenson and I will pass it on. My contact information is at the top of this message.

SEND YOUR NAME TO MARS
I sent my granddaughters names in for the “Send your name to Mars” and received a cute, but fake, boarding pass.
SEND YOUR NAME TO MARS – Ever wanted to have your name on Mars? You now have the chance to do just that thanks through a program NASA has offered whereby people can make that happen simply by registering their names for free at mars.nasa.gov/participate/send-your-name/future
Those who register are also asked for their countries, postal code and e-mails. Previously there was a sign up for Mars 2020 mission, but that opportunity is closed. With that window closed, the new sign-up period will give those who register the chance to have their name on board a mission to Mars sometime in mid-2020’s, NASA says. There is no close date to the registration period as of yet. Those who register can pick up a boarding pass on this site and check their” frequent flyer miles! Thus far, as of July 24, there are more than 526,000 registrations made for people to have their names on board a mission to Mars.
