Yearly 55+ Club dues will increase to $10 for 2020. Like everything else, costs have increased and this raise is necessary. In 2002 when this club started dues were $5!

MUGS FOR SALE
The 55+ Club has ordered ceramic coffee mugs with the club logo. They sell for $10 each and will be available at all special events and at Monday Bingo. 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! Hand washing of these mugs is recommended.
BINGO
Monday bingo is doing great! Attendance is down a bit during the summer, but members are enjoying the comradery and having fun. Louise Stevenson, shown in the picture is not a regular bingo attendee, but came to play the game a couple of Mondays. She won twice! The crowd could be heard saying “beginners luck”. Perhaps, but she did have fun, and recommends you come out and try your luck. Bring your friends for one complimentary day of play (card fees apply), membership is required for future attendance. Also pictured are Bingo Chairperson Anna Fake and assistant Chairperson, Terry Mellon.
