THANKSGIVING
We will be having a Thanksgiving

259-4366 and work out the details with her.
PLEASE let her know as soon as possible (no
later than the 15th) so that enough food etc. can be arranged.
BINGO, GAME NITE
We will be starting up the bingo
and game nights after the first of the year.
We did get the new outhouses completed, and they have been a well
received addition to our Community Center. We will be holding bingo on the
second Saturday night and game/poker on the fourth Saturday night starting at
7pm.
ON-GOING PROJECTS
There are no new projects
pending. Keith has finished painting and
the old school house is looking great.
He even painted the old out houses, which are pretty much just to look
at now.
A great big thank you goes out to
Keith, and all who helped with this big job.
Also I would like to thank John Simonich, and his painting co. for the
use of his equipment and ladder truck, without which the project would have
been next to impossible.
Also
thanks to all who helped out with the many projects this year. If I try to
mention everyone, I will surly forget someone. We did get the new flooring
installed in the kitchen, thank you to Don Epperson for his help with this
project. (Actually Bruce and I pretty much just watched).
