With so many now in the park, often there is slim pickins for the last in line. We have two requests to make this a more positive experience for everyone. We re asking if you would please consider bringing a larger amount of food to share, say enough to serve people. Also, those who go ahead of others, to consider taking a little smaller portion of food.

2 50/50 Split Fund Raisers The 50/50 fund raisers drawings are generally held after the 1 st and 3 rd potlucks. However, for the month of February, they will be held after the 1 st and 4 th potluck since we will have a program following the 3 rd potluck on Feb. 20.

Many thanks to Jim and Cynthia McNine for doing the Saturday Potluck breakfasts for the past months. Volunteers like Jim and Cynthia make this park a great place to live.

It'll pertain both to the things run by the Activities Committee members and also things organized by other individuals and groups.
