We would like to thank all of the people who came to our fashion show and to all of the ladies that helped make this event a success! Everyone enjoyed the food and games. The ladies did a great job choosing their outfits to model from Bon Worth. Thank you to Premier Jewelry for displaying their beautiful jewelry and big thanks for donating 20% of your proceeds to the club. The room was decorated in spring colors and the paper flowers that several club members made helped make the room look quite cheery. All and all we had a good time enjoying the fashions, great food and
fellowship.

Respectively submitted by, Joanne Everett.

As 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. Our first fundraiser “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.
