FROM THE RETIREES' CLUB All of the members who are retiring can have a very good time for only $12.00 a year for a membership in our club. For only $12.00 a year -you can eat and drink that much in donuts and coffee.
Nothing much has changed since the last writing. We are still bowling on Monday mornings at Expo Bowl at 10:00 a.m. There is no league - just come when you are free and feel like having fun.
The meetings for the club are the 2nd Thursday of each month at the hall at 10:00 a.m. On the evening of the meeting days we have a pitch-in dinner at 6:00 p.m. followed by 10 games of euchre.
