SCOOPS FROM THE ADVISORY COUNCIL Welcome to the first Advisory Council Column that we plan to publish monthly in the Centers calendar. We hope to keep you apprised of upcoming activities, status of issues/ideas that you would like for us to address, and any other things of interest to you. Our new Council is up and running with some plans for future fun and maybe even some money makers that we can use to benefit you, our members. If you dont know who is on the Council, here they are: Kate Wildman, Leah Reusche, Bill Cowdrey, Jackie Cowdrey, Edie Clark, Helen Morrell, and Yvonne Staton. If you would like to get in touch with any of us, ask someone at the front desk to contact us so that we can get back to you. Did you know that you can sit in on our monthly meetings, fourth Monday of every month at 2:00 PM? Please let one of us know in advance if you plan to join us. You can also provide topics/questions to one of us to discuss, and we will get back to you with feedback. One of the things that we already have in the works is a Craft Fair scheduled for August 27, 2011, 9:00 3:00. This will be a juried show..meaning that the items for sale are all handmade and of high quality. There will also be homemade baked goods available to purchase. Raffle items will be given away and a Silent Auction will occur throughout the day. Please come, bring your friends/family, and start that Holiday shopping early! Weve also scheduled a Movie and Pizza Night on July 29 and August 12. This will be for adults 18 and older only. You need to make reservations by the Thursday before the event with payment of $7 which covers pizza and the movie. There will also be sodas and candy for sale. Door will open at 6p.m., and the movie will start at 7 p.m. If you have thoughts on this or other ideas for future fun activities, please let us know. Your help is vital to us so that we can plan what YOU might like to do. YOUR ADVISORY COUNCIL
