“BETWEEN THE LINES”, 55+ BOOK CLUB
The book club had a great turn out for their last meeting on May 1st before breaking for the summer. Their guest speaker was club member, Grace Michaelson, author of the book, “The Skirl of the Pipes”. Grace is 94 years young and has published this book as a goal in life of something that she has always dreamed of doing. Proving you are never too old to follow your dream! Also, at this meeting the members of the Book Club decided to name their group “Between the Lines – “55+ Book Club”. Trudy Hughes made a Linzer Torte that was mentioned in the book that they were discussing, The Huntress. The group will resume September 4th at the DRS Community Center.
MEMBERSHIP DUES INCREASE
Yearly 55+ Club dues will increase to $10 for 2020. Like everything else, costs have increased and this raise is necessary. In 2001 when this club started dues were $5!! We’ve always striven to keep costs low and we are proud have been able to continue that for many years. Renewal begins in September, but you are welcome to pay your 2020 dues anytime.
