Pops Planning

On Wed., October 11th there will be 2 Holiday Pops meetings -- 3pm and 5:30pm -- at the Mason's.

Diane's hope is all those who have agreed to be part of Pops, in one way or the other, will attend one (or both) the meetings. If you haven't signed on for a specific job yet, but are willing to help, please also attend one of the meetings.

At each meeting we'll go over who does what and needs to be met - what is involved with marketing/advertising - as well as any questions. Very little is set in stone so new ideas are welcome. If someone wants to help but can't attend, please let Diane know - dbarbour16@aol.com

Blood Drive - October 12th

There is a blood drive on Thurs., Oct. 12th from 10am - 7pm at the Gerry 5. Becky’s Gourmet muffins and dandy donuts at 10 and chicken fingers & fries at noon. Contact 1-800-Redcross for appt. You will get a makeup!

Thank You & Canned Fruit

Janet Fitch Parker and The Marblehead Food Pantry are very grateful to everyone who contributed cake mixes and frostings for Birthday Bags-to-Go. The response and the commitment were indeed impressive. Thank you!

If anyone would like to continue contributing during October, there is always a need for canned fruit. Again, thank you for the outstanding response!

Farmers Market Booth

Don't forget...our club has a booth at the Farmers Market on Saturday, October 14th. The sign-up sheet went around at the last meeting, but there is still room for any one who would like to volunteer.

Friends Forever

The Friends Forever day & dinner will be on Tuesday, Oct 24th. This spectacular program brings 10 teens and their chaperones from Northern Ireland to the U.S. each year to build their leadership and peace-building skills. Cyndi Kilbarger will be providing more details about their visit soon.
