BINGO FOR DESIGNER BAGS!

Don’t miss this fun and unique fundraiser! November 10th from 1:30-3:30pm at the Satellite Beach Civic Center on Cassia Blvd. Join in on some Bingo fun & support
the 55+ Club fundraising efforts. You may win a new designer bag! Cost is $15/members, $20/non members. Tickets are going on sale soon and will be available at the SB Recreation Office, Thursdays Greeting Table, Bingo and
from most of the club’s chairperson. For further information, contact Terry Mellon at (321) 773-7705 or [email protected].

Watch for future fundraisers. In January there will be a spaghetti dinner and more information will be in your Nov/Dec newsletter. All fundraising efforts go toward the purchase of new bingo equipment which is badly needed. If you are so inclined, you are welcome to make a personal monetary donation. Please contact Terry.

FUND RAISERS

Bingo Fundraiser2Bingo Fundraiser1As those of us who play Bingo regularly know, we need new Bingo equipment. A week ago the big board was not working at all. Can’t check your numbers without the big board! So, we’re moving ahead with our fundraising efforts. “Bingo for Designer Bags”, will be held on Thursday, November 10th at the Civic Center on Cassia Blvd. We’re also considering an “Italian Dinner” and/or a “Casino Night”, both of which are fun social events. If anyone has ideas for fundraising projects please contact Terry at 321-773-7705 or [email protected]. Also, if you are so inclined, you are welcome to make a personal monetary donation. Please contact Terry.

HARVEST FESTIVAL

Please be sure to save the date, Thursday Oct. 27, 2016 for the 55+ Clubs fall event which will be held at the David R. Schechter Community Center from 11:00am to 2:00pm. Last years event was a great success and this one promises to be the same with good food, fun and friends! Tickets will be $10 per person and will go on sale Oct. 1st.

WELCOME BACK 55+ MEMBERS AND FRIENDS!

I am very happy to say several members have come forward to share the responsibility of planning the Club’s future. Thank you! We must have new ideas in order to grow so it’s wonderful that so many people care enough to get involved. But there is still room for you, so come on! What are you waiting for? Start by coming to the board meetings the 3rd Wednesday at 9am at the DRS.

Lots of exciting things are planned for the fall; many many trips both long and short! Hope to see you at the Bucket List lunch, that should be really interesting.

Please continue to support our sponsors, they are the greatest! Thank you all!

FLAG DAY PICNIC RECAP

The day’s events were great fun hot weather and all! Those who attended had a good time. The home made fans came in handy, thanks to my granddaughter and her friend who worked hard making them. The food was good and there was plenty
of it, no one went away hungry. The white elephant sale was a great success. We played a few games, but due to the heat most were happy to leave early. Regardless of the steamy weather, it was just nice gathering together for fun & fellowship.
The the red, white and blue wreath raffled off and made by Louise Stevenson was won by Laverne Johnson. A BIG thank you to all who helped make this event a success and to all for coming and supporting the day. We look forward to seeing you
at the Harvest festival in October.
