fresh veggies, a scrumptious salad and various desserts, is set for Dec.

signed up? You'll be receiving an email detailing where to send your
check OR pay in person at The Retreat between 2:00PM & 4:00PM on
Wednesday, Nov. 30.
As you can imagine, the week before election-day, the open forum at our
regular meeting on Nov. 2 was lively, passionate and extremely
informative. Our next general meeting will be January 4th.
The steering committee met on Nov. 9. It was decided that because 2023
will be our first full year as an independent Dems group we should
devote most of our next general meeting to discussing what the
membership would like the Democratic Forum to become. We'll also do
a post-election wrap-up. All are welcome to attend steering committee
meetings. They meet at 2:30PM, the 2nd Wednesday of every month.
Next committee meeting is December 14.

will be our traditional workshop where
we share with each other what tech
gadgets we received or what we wished
we received over the holidays (or
perhaps given to our techy grandchild -
always more fun to give than receive).
We plan to meet again in the Library given the current wifi issue

Our last Coffee and Chat for this year was held on Friday, October 28.
The theme for this C&C was Feeding the Hungry and we asked that
residents donate canned goods for the Social Concerns Ministry at St.
Clare Church in Roseville headed by Brian Parry and John Eleazarraraz.
They feed the hungry in Roseville and surrounding areas. So much food
was collected and everyone at The Club should be proud of the donation
we were able to make. Coffee and Chat also donated $60 cash. Thank
you everyone for your generosity.
Mia Winter of Neighborhood Watch presented Judy (Chair of Helping
Hands) with $200 cash, which was the seed money Helping Hands
donated in 2018 when Mia took over Neighborhood Watch. What a nice
surprise! The money was immediately handed over to Caroline
Crawford (Chair of Coffee and Chat) to be used to purchase 2 bikes and
helmets for Toys For Tots. They are on display by the piano. Thank
you, Mia, for this wonderful gift.
Coffee and Chat takes November and December off and we will meet
again on Friday, January 27, 2023, at 9am. We are looking for additional
residents to become a part of the host group to help set up. It only takes
that attend) and checking in guests when they arrive. Please let us know
(email Caroline Crawford at dfppro@yahoo.com ) if we can count on
you to continue this favorite gathering that has been going on for more
than 12 years.
Our annual Bake Sale and Hot Dog Lunch at the Craft Fair is just around
the corner on Saturday, Dec. 3rd from 10am-2pm. WE WILL BE
NEEDING BAKERS TO WOW US WITH THEIR TASTY TREATS.
Please watch for the emails from Helping Hands for details. If you don’t
bake, we will also gratefully accept cash donations (at your discretion) to
help defray the cost of supplies and food for the Hot Dog Lunch. We
are looking forward to seeing you there and enjoying the all the goodies!
ALL PROCEEDS GO DIRECTLY TO CHARITY
