       With Fall here it is time for the coats and sweaters to come out and time for all of us to enjoy our Winter events.

      Our new calendar of events for 2000-2001 will be ready soon. Please pick one up when coming to our October events.

     October starts our Bingo and regular meetings on the second and third Wednesdays of each month, respectively. Doors open at 11:00 a.m. and Bingo starts at 12:00 noon. Meetings are also at the same time. Bingo is free and prizes of money are given to the lucky winners. Raffle tickets are sold at 3 for $1.00. At our regular meetings on the third Wednesday of the month we have door prizes. You must each donate $3.00 or a gift to our Sergeant at Arms, Geri Kunda, and she will put your name down and in a bag for our monthly drawing.

     Those who have a birthday or anniversary must bring a cake or treat to that monthly meeting. Coffee will be served and two free drink tickets given to each person celebrating a birthday and attending the meeting on the month in which their birthday falls. We will all sing Happy Birthday or Happy Anniversary.

     Cards will be played every Tuesday at 1:00 p.m. with prizes for each table. Bowling is on Thursdays at 1:00 p.m. at the Bowlero on Burleigh St. All our events will be held at the Bowlero.

     Anyone interested in joining our Briggs Retiree Club, please call our treasurer, Erma Gorecki, at 781-8951 for more information. Meet some of your old friends and make some new ones. It is fun for all. Dues are $24.00 per year or $12.00 for six months (January-June and July-December).

    Marcy Gocel from our Entertainment Committee is having a bus trip to a casino at Keshena on Monday, October 23rd. The cost is $20.00. Call her for more information at 774-5230.

    Remember our sick and shut-ins: Mary Butze, Ann Zywicke and Sue Tatting. Let us wish them all a speedy recovery and our prayers.

    Hope to see you all at our coming events. Remember “If you love life, life will love you back”. Take care and God bless!
