RED HATS: Our ladies group at Desert Shadows will have some activities for the winter season of 2013-2014. Attendance typically has been small for November and December, so the main thrust of functions will occur January through March. For those interested, it is tentatively planned that the following will be publicized: NOVEMBER: Charming Charlie’s costume jewelry in Happy Valley with lunch at Paradise Bakery. DECEMBER: A tour of some Christmas Lights/Festivities in the valley. Travel agent Elaine Stauffer will assist us in picking a trip. JANUARY: A meeting early in the month of interested ladies to help plan the rest of the season. WATCH THE CARD ROOM BULLETIN BOARD FOR DETAILS. Thank you Betty Threinen HALLOWEEN DANCE: The band American Kountry will play at the Halloween dance Saturday, October 26th. There will be a costume contest for all those who choose to wear a costume and of course there will be an opportunity to do a little trick or treating. Come on down for the first event of the season and catch up with all you friends from last summer. FREE TRIP: As many of you know, Elaine helps to arrange for trips and travel excursions. This month, she has set up a FREE overnight trip to Fort McDowell Casino with transportation included. The bus will come to Desert Shadows and pick you up on the morning of Monday, October 21 and take you to the casino. You will be given a free room to stay in for the night, and then the bus will pick you up at the casino on Tuesday afternoon, October 22, and bring you back to Desert Shadows. The transportation and hotel are free, but you must sign up in advance in the Card Room. Contact Elaine for more info at (623) 581-8331.
