re: Food Distribution Reinstatement
The Social Committee has reintroduced the Food Closet after several residents asked about it.
Here's the plan:
1. The Social Committee will place a plastic garbage can (clearly marked) in the clubhouse. Foods will be collected throughout the month.
2. On the LAST SATURDAY of each month, at 11am the committee members will provide grocery bags to those who need them. That months donation will be set out on the tables for you to pick what you need.
Wondering what to donate:
Canned fruit
Canned meats - tuna, Spam, fish, chicken
Canned vegetables
Canned chili
Canned beans
Applesauce
Breakfast Cereal
Oatmeal
Shelf-stable milk
Granola bars
Peanut Butter
Rice
Pasta
Crackers
Soups
Nuts
Cooking oil
Tomato and/or spaghetti sauce!
WHAT NOT TO DONATE: Items needing refrigeration or freezing (could be donated on LAST FRIDAY of the month and distributed next day)
Expired food - while some are okay with expired foods, your social committee cannot in good conscience distribute those items.

October Sudoku
How to solve sudoku puzzles
No math is required to solve a sudoku. You only need logic and patience.
Simply make sure that each 3x3 square region has only one instance of the numbers 1-9. Similarly, each number can only
