Our first Adventurers Induction was held, Sabbath February 23, inducting children into three different levels; Adventurers, Eager Beavers and Little Lambs. The club has twelve enthusiastic members, whose singing of the Adventurers song and reciting their pledge couldn’t help but put a smile on your face.

Goldenaires Luncheon

Saturday, March 1st, 2008

In spite of the snow and cold, several hardy souls ventured out for the Goldenaires luncheon on February 27. A variety of pasta dishes, salad and desserts were enjoyed. A visit to Italy’s Amalfi coast (via DVD) made our Italian dinner feel a little more authentic. Our next lunch will be at noon on Wednesday, March 26, when we will have a “Chili Open” – no, we won’t be golfing in the snow, just enjoying chili for lunch. Mark your calendar now and plan to attend. More information will be in the bulletin in a few weeks. Goldenaires is open to anyone of retirement age.
