and the public is invited to attend. Please consult the local newspaper or
people in charge to make sure this event will take place all summer.
WEDNESDAY MORNING COFFEE & DONUTS - This is a great way to socialize
with our members and friends at 8:30 a.m. to 10 a.m. Noble Mike Byers and Lady
Mary Jean (and Noble Joe Mize) make our coffee, and attendees bring in the
goodies each week; thanks to ALL! A volunteer donation to cover the cost of the
a/c and coffee is appreciated. Thank you for supporting this endeavor. This
event will probably go on all summer; you will be notified if this changes.
FRIDAY NIGHT DARTS AT 7 P.M. - This lively activity will probably go on
all summer. This event gets good participation and everyone has a good time.
It’s also a good form of exercise; and besides, most of our players are darn
good and it’s exciting to watch! It is also a good way to socialize; Ladies
Paula Kresge and Eileen Whitten, and several others are members of the cheering
team! It’s always good to see everyone. If this event is changed, you will be
notified.
Best wishes, Sissel Carr

Hope everyone has a safe and healthy summer
Please excuse me for being late in getting out this information to you.
But it is not my fault… On May 16, I received a message from Stratonet (my
internet provider for over 15 years) that they were going out of business, and
would be closing in 4 days (May 20)! Talk about shock….. But then the real
challenge began… I tried to find another provider. just to find out that the
larger internet ones (Century Link, Hughes Net, AT&T, etc.) were not available
at my end of the block. I finally wound up speaking with Viasat, and they said
YES. Just tonight (Saturday, June 8) the installer got me up and running again,
after 20 long days! Unfortunately the Viasat charge is triple that of Stratonet.
But what else can you, but pay what the company charges. I’m just glad to be on
line again.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
