Shari Haines, Serendipity: Today we had to pay for our own pastries.  And even our own coffee and tea.

It is great to see John Pickereign, Aloha, is back with us this morning after spending several days during the last couple of weeks in the hospital.

Many of you will remember Kathy Putori.  She and her husband snowbird on Golden for many years.  After Carmen’s death she sold and returned north.  Kathy has a cancerous tumor in her pancreas.  She will have a port put in this coming week to facilitate several months of chemo.  After the chemo they will operate to remove the tumor.  Kathy’s address for those who remember her and would like to send cards:  675 Shirls Avenue, Washington, PA  15301.

Harvey Shook, Pine, would like to thank everyone for the cards and words of condolence that he has received on the death of his wife, Charlene

          Mike Mikolayek, Director of Social Club: Mike reported that the second Thursday in November the Social Club will have attorney, Jim Weaver, from Lake Wales to tell us why you should have a trust instead of a will and also his office does work pertaining your certificates (shares).  This will be after the Social Club Meeting that follows Coffee.

          Mike also introduced Melinda Cole who is going to start a Language Club.

          Barb Norsen:  Barb informed us that her AOL email account was hacked yesterday.  She is working with AOL to resolved this problem, but if you got an email from her yesterday just disregard it and delete it.

          Also, Line Dance classes will start in the first week of October on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings from 11 am – noon here in the big room in the Clubhouse.

          Warren Law:  Warren & Marlene have found that Polk County Schools have a 4-year grants “No child goes hungry” that provided breakfast and lunch “free” for those students who have a need.  Polk County serves over 11 million lunches and breakfast every year.  There is a need for shirts for uniforms.  These shirts are only $10.  They also need pencils, markers, erasers, Kleenex and hand sanitizers.  If you would like to help, Marlene is getting a number or address where you can donate for uniform shirts. (If you want to help out; contact Warren or Marlene and they will give you where to donate – do not give Warren a check or money).  A container will be put here in the Clubhouse for donations of school supplies.  Children are on Warren and Marlene’s hearts.  They are guardian ad litems.  They have been doing this for 10 years and next Wednesday the last child that they have been mentoring will be adopted.
