PRESIDENTS' CORNER ... by Pres., Mary Giroux
Last week we enjoyed a bountiful table of appetizers followed by a delicious spread of late summer picnic fixings. Most importantly we shared an evening of fellowship with friends and family members as a "thank you" for all of the hard work put in on the pancake breakfast. Kashyap and Eduarda, our new exchange students and their host families were warmly welcomed by Gard Lorey. Thanks to Karen Price and her great team of student volunteers for all the work they did in putting on the dinner and to Gard Lorey and the youth exchange team for all they do to make the program a success!
See you next Thursday.......cooler weather and rain predicted!

FIRST DAWING OCT 5 - CLUB 200 FUND RAISER
200 Tickets at $20 each are be sold to members, friends & neighbors between now and October when 10 tickets (2 per week) will be drawn weekly with the winners receiving $50 each. The winning tickets will be recycled into the draw-bin for drawings the following weeks. So ..... multiple chances to win on a single ticket.
The whole event ends on Nov 16th, with two tickets will be drawn for $250 & $500. The $200 draw dates are: Oct. 5, 12, 19, 26 & Nov 2, and the $250 & $500 tickets will be drawn on Nov 16.
Cheryl Silvestrini will have the tickets for sale over August & September. Do not miss out on this opprotrunity as it is limited to 200 tickets.
This is fun way for our Club to raise up $2,750 to use for worthy causes throughout the year. We can only make the maximum amount ($2750) if ALL 200 tickets are sold. The key is for ALL members to participate in selling (and buying) tickets.
