Announcements 8/26/2015

President Bill sent out a reminder about the Alzheimer Walk. He begged everyone to visit www.alz.org and donate or sign up to walk. Walk starts at 9:00am. Everyone needs to send Lucie their t-shirt size so everyone can match and no one will get lost or separated from the group while walking. You are paying for your own shirt and it will be roughly $10-$12.

 

Sue had a sign up going around for the golf and meeting on September 23^rd. If you’re going to the meeting write your name on the list or you won’t be able to eat! She’s using the list to order food. If you missed the sign up this week, don’t worry, she will send it around for the next 3 weeks.

 

Past President Ken Farley gave a quick update on the upcoming new fundraiser, “Celebration of Suds at the Falls”, which is being held on Saturday, September 26.  We were able to get the Courier to discount ad space! There are 19 tickets already sold. We need roughly 300 sold to break even. Don’t forget to take a poster and hang it anywhere!!!! A volunteer page will be going around at Wednesday’s meeting. Make sure you sign up to volunteer! Who wouldn’t want to drink beer and wine?!?!?!
