THAT’S PUZZLING!

Do you enjoy jig saw puzzles? Many people do and often have one set up all the time in their home, but how often do you want to work on a puzzle you’ve already  mastered? We are working on holding a Jigsaw Puzzle exchange. The exchange will be seasonal – Winter, Spring and Fall. The first meeting will be Thursday April 30, 2020 from 1 to 2pm at the DRS Community Center. Future dates will be announced. You are welcome to bring any puzzles you would like to trade with someone else. You have a few months to finish any puzzles you are currently working on and be ready to come to the spring puzzle exchange. Watch for future dates! This activity is open to the community.

PRESS RELEASE HELP

We need you! We are looking for someone to send occasional press releases to local publications on behalf of the 55+ Club. This is truly an easy job and can be done from home at your computer. For example: You would send information about an upcoming event, such as the Health Fair (sending the who, what, where) to “Hometown News”. We will show you exactly how to complete this task and it would help our club tremendously to let our community know of the various events the club is offering. Contact Louise S. at 321/202-7337 or [email protected]

55+ CLUB MUG

Have you gotten yours? The 55+ Club has ordered ceramic coffee mugs with the club logo. They sell for $10 each and are available at Monday Bingo or by contacting Louise S. 321/202-7337 or [email protected]. The cups have a cork bottom and a lid to help prevent spills. We encourage members to bring their cups to various club functions to help in the reduction of “single use items” such as Styrofoam. Think green by reusing, reducing and recycling!

DAY TRAVEL RECAPS

Twenty-eight club members and guests enjoyed the January 14th trip to Isle of Capri. Shown here is Peggy Parker holding a voucher for a whopping $.10 cents! However, later she won $180 and took it all home! Good job Peggy!
