NEW MEMBER RECEPTION

Was held Friday Sept. 14th and was a great success! Thirty new members attended, new friends were made and old acquaintances renewed. They enjoyed delicious hors d’oeuvre, desserts and wine. The 55+ Club’s motto is, “To sponsor and coordinate programs that provide social, entertainment and educational opportunities that will enhance the quality of life for our 55+community”.

With that in mind, Candy Allard, Line Dance Instructor, said it best, “If you can’t find something to do in this area, then you are NOT paying attention”. There’s plenty to keep
you busy! Besides the 55+ Club activities there are several other organizations you can get involved with and the Recreation Dept. offers great programs for all ages. No excuse for being bored!

2019 DUES ARE DUE

Be sure you update your contact information if needed. Members who are not paid for 2019 will be dropped from the membership roster by February. Don’t delay!
