Hello Members

Its almost the end of another year, time flies, we must be having a lot of fun! The 55+ Club has been very active, the programs are well attended and successful. If there is an activity you would like us to add to the 55+ Club agenda, let us know, we are open to new ideas. Please, when you are making your new years resolutions, remember your Club, it can’t run on its own, we do need your help! Hosts and Hostesses to greet new people on Thursday mornings; computer people for basic data entry, help with the planning of special events and more. The Board members elected for the 2015 year can serve a two year term so their names will be presented at the Annual Meeting for a membership vote; their reinstatement will be automatic unless challenged. However, the Recording Secretary position on the Board is open for nominations so please call Shirley Pinard, Nominating Chairperson if you are interested at 321/806-0822. Let us know if you are ready to play a more active role in the Club, and, yes, please make this a resolution you will keep!

Happy Holiday Season!

Lunch Bunch Queen for a Day!

Was the theme for the luncheon held at the Kiwi Tennis Club in June and was the last order of business for our very own
Laverne Johnson as Lunch Bunch Chairperson. Feted with a crown and scepter for the occasion, Laverne received a plaque to commemorate her many years of dedication in making the Lunch Bunch the success it is today. Twenty-four members attended the lunch to honor her day, and wish her well in future endeavors. Laverne has been a staunch supporter of the 55+
Club and you will still see her assisting at many club functions. She passes the Lunch Bunch hat on to Barbara Hessler.

It’s time to get back in the 55+ routine!

I hope everyone had a wonderful summer break and are now ready to enjoy the 55+ programs again. We’ll pick up where we left off with Line Dancing, Book Club, Fishing etc.! Refer to your newsletter and calendar for times and phone numbers. The Club welcomed four new sponsors while you were away! Jag Financial, located right across the street on Jackson Ave., stop in and say hello; Katrina Davis, MD, National Cremation Society; and the Medicare Specialist. Please make them all feel welcome. Looking forward to seeing everyone and sharing vacation stories.
